| 75 | | | 91 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Seyval is a grape produced in the 19th century, a hybrid. It is planted from Québec all the way south to North Georgia, and can produce light- to medium-bodied white wines that do best (in my view) in stainless steel, although Wagner in the Finger Lakes, NY, ferments it in barrel to interesting effect. Kept in stainless, the wine retains crispness and bright fruit. This off-dry example shows a lovely pale straw color, and captures clean, fresh citrus-kissed white fruit characters. Moderate alcohol, 11%. I like this edition so much better than 2007, which did get some oak while this one was vinified in stainless steel. Good acidity and low ph balance the residual sugar. Serve moderately chilled, about 50-55ºF/10-13ºC. Foods: Simple grilled fish, seafood, especially scallops and shrimp either grilled or poached or cooked in parchment paper—skip sauces; oysters; poached chicken with curry-accented (light!) homemade mayonnaise; goat cheese.
