First Tasting Note

Emily and I have agreed to try different wines around Europe and write tasting notes on them for Neile, Emily's dad.  Here's our first attempt:

Name, Producer, Region: Berner Geshcichte, Luins, Appelation D'Origine Controlee Grand Vin Vaudois. 2008.  11.5% alcohol.  We're not really sure what's what from the label.
Cost: 7.90 CHF (About $7.69)
Circumstances: Rain Storm in the Swiss Alps, outside on a covered porch, strong smell of rain and wet wood in the clean air.

Color: Pale, nearly clear with a golden tint.

Aroma: Ian: A bit tangy, woody undertone, faintly crisp green apple.  Very light.
Emily: Sweet (slightly sugary), fresh green apple, pencil shavings, very fresh

Taste:
 Emily: Not much of a taste until the end, when it is a little bit sour but not a vinagery taste.  Cantaloupe/honeydew possibly a little bit of mustard (I think).
Ian: Not much taste, moves from virtually tasteless to sour apple as it warms on the tongue; hints of green wood.

Body:
Ian: Very light opening, tends towards sourness and dry.  Tends to pucker the mouth towards the end, but no lasting bite. More heft than the scent would suggest, but not a strong white.
Emily: Seconded.

Finish:
Ian: Warm, dry finish, leaves a lasting hint of green apple with less sourness than during drinking.
Emily: Warm, dry.  Leaves a dancing flavor on your tongue as a calling card.

Overall Impression:
Emily: Not a good dinner party wine, but nice for family dinners especially with light fish.  Would pair well with a mildly sweet fruity dessert, perhaps as simple as a cup of fruit.  Not very grapey.  Should be drank cold and soon after opening, breathing does not benefit the wine.  Doesn't taste much like grape.  Not what I would have expected from a cheaper white wine.
Ian: easy drinking wine that stays quite light, but with surprising complexity and variability during the drinking experience.  Remains sweet and delicate if swallowed quickly, but builds in sourness and dryness if left on the tongue. Satisfying, lingering aftertaste.  I would prefer to enjoy it alone, or perhaps with a very light fish dish or to complement a light dessert such as fruit salad or fruit mousse. Could also be good salty dish such as miso soup or milder sushi.  Avoids tasting like grape juice or vinegar like many budget whites.
