The first day of August is scary.
It means that
the 'last' month of summer is upon us and that means
the crazy days of fall are a'comin'.
But nothing, not
even fall scheduling can cool my ardor for Riesling.
Each time I open a great bottle of German Riesling I
think - damn why don't we drink this more often?
Delicious, elegant, low alcohol, fresh, a layered trifle of
flavours.
I wish all the wines I review in this weeks
newsletter were available here. But I have the taste of
them embedded into my memory palate.
For the
stories and reviews from Rheinhessen;
Gunderloch, Heyl zu Herrnsheim and St.
Antony, from the Pfalz; Bassermann~Jordan,
Lingenfelder & Lucashof and from Nahe;
Schlossgut Diel & Kruger~Rumpf. Some of
the best producers in Germany.
