I just sent this message out to my private email list: --- I cracked open a 6-pack tonight, tried a bottle, and THIS is why I fell in love with Dönnhoff. It has such amazingly thin (but "chewy") lime-acidity, that it literally causes salivation. I was talking about great Godellos with Gerry in our chat, and they do the same thing. You get it in your mouth, then chew on it, and when you swallow, the salivary glands kick into high gear. It's a physical reaction; not any kind of "tastes good" thing. It is perfect. There is nothing that can be done to this wine to make it any better. I'm CC'ing Terry on this note. --- The only problem with this wine is that it's going to be gone before it has been fully chilled. This is one of those rare-breeds of wine that I call a "10-Minute Riesling" - there's no other way to describe it - because it's gone in 10 minutes.
