Hermann J. Wiemer 2008 “Magdalena Vineyard” Riesling; better with food
Don’t let the title fool you, this wine rocked on it’s own, but the Wiemer 2008 “Magdalena Vineyard” Riesling ($36) is definitely a food wine. I tasted the wine originally at TasteCamp, where I bought a couple of bottles to bring home with me. I’m glad I bought two, wish I had bought more, but [...]
Taste NY – A blind tasting of Finger Lakes Riesling
Last night I had the opportunity to taste 12 Finger Lakes Rieslings, as part of Taste NY, organized by Lenn Thompson of The New York Cork Report.

A great Riesling from New York, and not from the Finger Lakes
I had the pleasure of meeting Roman Roth in Long Island during Taste Camp in May, while he led us through a fabulous tasting at Wolffer Estate. While Roman is the head winemaker for Wolffer, he also makes wines under his own label “Grapes of Roth”. I had the opportunity to taste his Grapes of [...]

Over the past couple of years I have really come to enjoy Riesling, slightly sweet and rich, bone dry and mineral driven and somewhere in between, Rieslings are a truly fabulous wine. I have had a couple of Rieslings in the past two weeks that are on pretty opposite ends of the spectrum, although not [...]

Germany meets India
Germany met India on my palate with the 2005 Bert Simon Serrig Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett. This wine comes from the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region of Germany. Deciphering the label a bit more, it comes from the Saar valley in the village of Serrig and the vineyard Herrenberg. An interesting side note for all you fans of the [...]
