Time for other wines

I'm taking a couple weeks off from Finger Lakes wines. I find it necessary to keep a broad and general knowledge of what the rest of the world has to offer in order to properly review Finger Lakes wines. See you soon.

Knapp Seyval Blanc

Although the Seyval Blanc grape is a hybrid that was developed to grow well in cooler weather, this 2004 Vintage Finger Lakes wine is perfect for summer. This particular wine from Knapp Vineyards contains hints of vanilla, hints of oak, and enough acid and mineral to keep it crisp and fairly complex at the same time. This is so well balanced that it will perform well with a variety of foods, but might go best with a wild mushroom burger and truffled mashed potatoes. GOOD
