This wine has a wild story. It was a white wine from Jura, not a big producer and I think that is why the app is having a hard time finding what it is. The winemakers husband killed himself in the vineyard i think and then she made this as an ode to that night (crazy). It was good and I think other people would really like it as my wine obsessed aunt and uncle did, but for me it was too akin to an albariño. It had that salty and briney taste to it that I just don’t love. We made good friends with the wine guy at this restaurant and I told him all I could taste was green olives and he did validate me and tell me I was right. I think this is a great wine, just not for me, or maybe I was tainted by the story.
