($32, The Rare Wine Company):  If this were hockey, this wine would have scored a hat trick (three goals in a game by a single player for the non-hockey fans)–a great producer, a great vineyard and a great vintage.  The problem with Vouvray in general is the difficulty knowing the level of sweetness of the wine from the label.  No problem here.  The label clearly states Sec and the wine is dry with riveting acidity balancing the delicate pear and apple-like fruit notes.  The tension and balance between the invigorating acidity and fleeting fruitiness persists throughout the meal.  It’s a great option for the plethora of diverse flavors found in sushi. 92 Michael Apstein Oct 2, 2012
