White Wine

I love Rieslings but when I here waxy and petrol I sense the bottling machine was just lubricated.

 

Could be. I am curious about which aspect of Riesling is responsible for those flavors.

They could always sell it with a new tagline “Billy Dee Wilhelms for WD45. Works every time, also good for rusty hinges.”

I used to love this stuff - haven’t had it in awhile

I have a couple bottles somewhere...Costco carries this once in a while for cheap. I'll post a tasting note Mike when I find it. My everyday drinkers racks are in disarray. I do remember the 2018 being pretty good.

 

Mike. I found a bottle of 2020 and popped it for lunch Sunday with lobster rolls. Has a lot of butterscotch on the now. Light gold in the glass. Unctious. Sort of licorice with a bot of burnt orange on the finish. I guess one could drink it as an aperitif, but probably better with shellfish, fish or chicken with a cream sauce I'd guess. No oak of course. Not my style.

 

Merry Edwards SB for Mrs. Hall Saturday evening with the chicken tarragon.

 

Chablis lovers. Devastating hail storm and other nasty weather prompting growers to estimate 50% of chardonnay in Chablis already lost for the 24 vintage.

 

Good to know as I look at what to buy from 2023.

Thank you for the notice!

 

Hi Jim. Been sampling different rose to settle on my best for the spring/summer. My old faves are Houchart, Bieler. Have in front of me a Willamette rose 2023 from Stoller, an entry level PN producer I like. I'll ost some tastings on this thread instead of opening a rose thread. Rose is being made all over the world from every known grape. I had a bottle of MUGA last week that was pretty good. I do not go for the Dom Otts of the world.

 

Hey Keith,

That sounds great. Have you had any of the new releases from Tavel yet? I just bought a Chateau D’Aqueria, but have yet to open it.

Hello Jim. I'm more of a volume rose drinker...probably 5 days a week as aperitif, not to accompany dinner. The Peyrassol is pretty good as everyday drinker. I'll pick up Tavel in a couple of weeks. Cheers

 

Since Im on a roll posting, I thought I’d share this one. A very interesting white Bordeaux. Very citrusy, but also floral and mineral. I’ll be interested to see how it develops.

I have never seen that Jim.

 

It’s a little bit under the radar, for sure. White Bordeaux doesn’t seem to get much love in America, which helps for pricing. It’s a favorite of mine as is the Y from Chateau d’Yquem.

 

I opened another white tonight. Again, not the most common, but fantastic. A great deal of apricot, grapefruit, and peach. It was balanced with a nutty, waxy structure.

It really evolved over a couple of hours.
