8 Mar 2012: 2006 Zind-Humbrecht Clos Jebsal, Turckheim (Pinot Gris SGN): Golden core, with some amber highlights. An unmistakable expression of concentrated botrytis: honey, smokey, dried apricot, marmalade, rye, orange peel and nutty. Lusciously sweet, yet tasting exhilaratingly fresh and harmoniously balanced by a copious amount of acidity. I loved how the intense flavours coated the palate and stayed there for a very very long time! An entirely memorable wine with a finish that never quite seemed to end. By far, the best wine of the evening!! Luckily it came at the end. It would have been impossible to drink anything else afterwards. 19/20
My second favourite wine of the evening was the 2004 Domaine Weinbach Cuvee Sainte Catherine, L'Inedit: Honey, smokey, nutty, toasty. Medium-full body. Great acidity. Very long finish. Simply gorgeous with the braised whole abalone. 17.5/20

The Chiu Chow cuisine at the Laguna City Clubhouse Restaurant was really delicious. Definitely worth the trip. I highly recommend.
