These are great. I think this is such a common mistake that I make as well with blind tasting, but she described the wine perfectly and then took a crazy weird turn at the end. You really have to follow down the path that your structure tells you it is. If its a bitter wine with that green quality then there's no way its Burgundian Chardonnay. As soon as you pick up astringency in a neutral white wine your mind should go to only a few grapes; pinot grigio, albarino and gruner. Nothing else will have those bitter components unless its oak influenced or an aromatic varietal like viognier or gewurztraminer. In regards to picking between those three grapes, well good luck. They all taste incredibly similar!
Love this series. Blind tastings are soooo hard. If I had one suggestion for the series, it would be to allow the somm to provide three final IDs, instead of one.
I've heard of cat's pee...but baby's breath? Aaah yes, the wonderful world of wine descriptor vocabulary. :) I saw the color tone as being a bit too light for Chardonnay. I guessed (wrongly).... Vermentino.

Her confidence should be praised and is non the less inspirational! Thank you 🙏🏼

Also, big fan of SevenFifty Daily and I'm not even in the wine industry. Just a wannabe.
Did she get the baby’s breath right?
Do you in Austria produce baby’s breath wine?!?
"Baby's breath"...
Thank you I was looking for this comment
Jancis Robinson says she get more than four or five things off the palate of any wine. I'm happy she nailed Baby's Breath.
Jancis says she gets at least 5 things en every wine?
