Are all Kerners this aromatic / flowery? I had a Falanghina wine. I finally understood what they mean by minerally. I felt like I was drinking the water that was constantly running over ROCKS, like in those cheesy home waterfall zen decorations. It almost had no other taste. Are all Falanghinas this minerally?

Sun Nov 02 10:38:24 -0800 2008 4143847 220828 914NYC 2 4144583 Meant to add, that with aeration, proper stemware, etc, you'll also get the citrus notes that RCC mentioned, plus a floral component. As far as pairings, any simply-prepared seafood dish, creamy/mild cheeses. Sun Nov 02 13:22:52 -0800 2008 4144313 196217 Brad Ballinger 1 4144348 "It almost had no other taste. Are all Falanghinas this minerally?" I've had a few before, not many, and I liked the ones that were minerally but also had the slight citrus spritziness with lean fruit. Very refreshing and went very well with fresh pasta with seafood. Sun Nov 02 10:54:28 -0800 2008 4143847 10578 RCC
