2006 Babich Dry Riesling (Marlborough, New Zealand)
Serves up concentrated, fleshy flavours of grapefruit, lime juice, with intense minerality. Wet gravel and a hint of Jalapeno pepper linger on the finish. Rating: 90 -Wine Spectator $9 glass $43 bottle
Falafel: Flavourful Chickpea Falafel stuffed with Sour Cherries, Fresh Mint and Lemon. With Tunisian Mashed Potatoes (potatoes mashed with olive oil, parsley, cumin and preserved lemon) and an exotic Orange and Olive Salad. $14
deVine Wines recommends for the Falafel:
2005 Patrice Rion Pinot Noir (Burgundy, France)
This well price Burgogne has lots of strawberry fruit and a hefty dose of vanilla to boot. It is drinking nicely now, as it is a New World style of Pinot Noir. $12 glass $56 bottle
