When I awoke this morning I wished I could push the hands of the clock forward to midday. I rarely drink wine before midday. Last night I discovered a really good wine/food match and was looking forward to experiencing it again.
Feeling like a glass of wine after dinner I poured an Elderton Eden Valley Riesling 2002 and while the fridge door was open grabbed a little smoked marlin our friends, Wayne and Sue had given us.
What a perfect match. The wine is fresh and crisp with lemon/lime aromas and goes so well with the smokey saltiness of the marlin.
Over lunch today we decided to see if it went as well with a Browns of Padthaway Riesling 2001. ....it does.
The colour of the Riesling is a golden green and this was enhanced as I served the wine in green crystal glasses we inherited from Bryan's parents.
