2004 Alzinger Loibenberg Riesling Smaragd
Opened with pizza topped with tomato sauce, broccoli, and sardines and it was not a problem at all. Ok, the pairing may not win any New Sommelier awards. But the pizza was good and the wine was good and everyone was happy.
The wine had a lovely perfumey orange/nectarine/peach essence oil element but of course it was never thick and always very clear, direct, focused, and even somewhat gentle on the palate. Lovely nose, lovely drink, lovely evening.
