Couple of whites

Two reasonably obscure whites over the past week.

2002 J & HA Strub Niersteiner Brückchen Riesling Kabinett - Germany, Rheinhessen (6/2/2009)
Lovely, limey, tart, clean, lean, a true Kabinett. Quite pretty and the perfect thing with a crispy panko crusted halibut and Asian slaw on an unseasonably hot Seattle night.
2004 Domaine d’Ardhuy Ladoix Blanc - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Ladoix (5/31/2009)
Just OK. A little more pear and a little less lime than I want, but no oak. A pretty good Chard.

Eric, this should really be moved to the Epicurean Exploits forum.

Kidding, of course. The Strub and halibut pairing sounds delightful.

The Strub was the perfect thing for the halibut. Even better was some leftover halibut the next day ona nicely toasted bun, little lettuce, little tartar, damn that hit the spot. No Strub at lunchtime though. I am a lightweight.
