Pop up dinner by The Bombay East Indian Girl at Test Kitchen.
Frédéric Lornet Crémant du Jura Brut NV - definitely plenty of red fruits, and also a little pungent. Very easy to drink but with a little bitterness on the finish.
2016 Bechtold Gewurztraminer Obere Hund - very floral nose with lychee and honey. Sweet on the attack but quickly changed to bitter mid-palate, thanks to being too ripe. Almost like mango. Kinda viscous, which helps coat the tongue and neutralizes the heat from spicy dishes.
2007 Josmeyer Pinot Gris "1854" Fondation - more plastic and polyurethane on the nose, oxidized, almost pineapple and kinda lychee, definitely tropical notes. Also some minerals, and ripe on the palate.
2016 Valle Dell'Acate Il Frappato - MEH. Kinda flat on the palate.
2016 Château de Bastard, en demi-bouteille - very ripe and kinda alcoholic on the palate, with beeswax, ripe pineapple, and botrytis notes on the nose.
