This labeled Trocken on the back label. Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has some peach along with wet rock/minerality. Medium bodied. A strong backbone of acidity. On the palate, this is crisp with some peach and plenty of depth. This is still young and will no doubt develop more complexity with good cellaring but it is delicious now. Great on its own, this is very food friendly and would no doubt benefit from some food to work with the acidity. Thai food seems like a natural match. Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.
Scheurebe is a Riseling cross developed in 1916 in Germany. This wine is 12% abv. Light green/silver/hay in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with a bit of peach and some minerality. Medium bodied. Low acidity. On the palate, this is easy drinking yet satisfying. A bit of peach. Like a cooler on a hot summer day. It is nice on its own but better with some food. It would work well with a Vegetable Soup for a lunch or light dinner. Drink over the next year or two.
This is in a nice place right now. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with lemon peel, wet rocks, salinity and slight char. Medium bodied. Vibrant acidity. On the palate, this is sweet, not cloying. Delicious. Flavors of lemon, slight apples and minerality. Long finish. This is just starting to show some development and should drink well for twenty years. It is very food friendly and would be great with Thai food.
Gorgeous wine. This is a dry Riesling from Germany that is getting close to peak. Medium golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with peach, slight citrus (oranges mostly), and loads of minerality. Medium to full bodied. Wonderful energy and balance. Great texture. On the palate, this is complex and deep. Layers of fruit and minerality. Grapefruit, oranges, and schist. Great acidity. Long finish. This is lovely on its own but better with food. This would be a great companion to Sushi. Drink over the next ten to twenty years.
This is an interesting and quite good Riesling. Yellow gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with apples, slight sitrus and minerality. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this is dry. Flavors of apples, slight lemon and minerals. A little short on the finish. This wine has plenty of stuffing and while it is good on its own, it will be better with food. It should work with most foods, but Spaetzle seems like a natural choice. Drink over the next five to eight years.
This was very nice. It is a premixed and sweetened Bellini cocktail that is a mix of wine and fruit puree. The original Bellini cocktail dates back to 1938 at Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy. The drink is orange in color and opaque. It is very refreshing with nice peach flavors. 6% abv. Serve chilled. A very fun and easy cocktail that is great on its own to drink on the back deck.
Really interesting wine. This is Pinot Gris (Grigio) from Germany. The name of the wine comes from a Goethe poem Prometheus. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has light white peach and minerality. Medium bodied. Good balance. Nice acidity. On the palate, minerals, peach and a slight herbal quality. Good finish. This is nice on its own, but better with food. A nice wine with a Red Lentil salad. drink over the next five years.
Riesling is something of an odd duck. Most people believe it’s always made in a sweet style, and certainly when made in California typically it does have a sweeter profile. But Riesling can range from bone dry to luxurious dessert wine For those unfamiliar with German Riesling, the vast majority have a light smell and taste of what is called petrol, yes, as in gasoline. But you’re not drinking gasoline. The weather, soil and the clones of Riesling that Germany typically uses offer these aromatics and it’s quite common and actually something very unique to the Riesling grape.
