  I would love to hear what people here recommend pairing-wise between ... about pinot grigio/gris, riesling, gerwurztraminer, or viognier? Thanks for your help

  Gregory, Many thanks for these suggestions. I ended up with a great austian riesling (prager federspiel 2005) which had the body you described and was a perfect match for the soup.

I ended up with a great austian riesling (prager federspiel 2005) which had the body you described and was a perfect match for the soup. Then onto two different Barolos with the veal (the '93 Beni De Batasiolo was the crowd favorite, preferred over it's younger partner, the 2001 Marengo, though I maybe didn't air the latter quite as much, giving an advantage to the '93). But the big discovery of the evening for me as well as the guests was the Recioto di Soave (Ca' Rugate 2006, La Perlara) which I'd never heard of until your post. I had to get it special ordered from my local wine shop, but boy was it worth it. The pairing with the pear upside down cake was perfect. What an amazing end to an amazing dinner. Can't wait for the next one!    (hide)

  Hi all! I am mostly interested in German Riesling wines ... from the Mosel River areas ... specifically Spatelese or Auslese. This is a great site! I'm glad to be a part of it ...

Read morePhilip, the Mosel Wine Merchant is a Germany-based importer of Mosel wines with a very individual character, which are often quite different from each other (compare the full-bodied, almost baroque Rieslings from Clemens Busch or Knebel with the leaner, more racy Stein or Steinmetz). What all the producers have in common is their natural approach to winemaking (on pesticides in the vineyard, no Suessreserve in the cellar). MWM is distributed here by Polaner, whose portfolio tasting tomorrow btw will showcase many MWM wines.    (hide)

Apart from stunning pictures of steep Mosel vineyards and intimate producer profiles the brochure contains a read-worthy essay on the history of Mosel wine written by German wine writer Joachim Krieger (the whole brochure is in English, don't worry). The brochure can be downloaded here: http://www.moselwinemerchant.com/download/MoselWineMerchant2009.pdf If you have had wines from this portfolio, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts.

  Morning gents! I'm about to start a thread where we try to come up with the names and URLs of each wine that was there last night. And I want to echo what Eric wrote, I've always known I like reisling, but the 94 Steinmetz was a real treat. Tasting notes on all 30 odd wines to follow

  Eric, I am glad you enjoyed the Steinmetz and Doennhoff. I think it was good to have both a very young and an aged Spaetlese next to each other, just to see how wonderfully this grape can mature in the bottle. I am looking forward to your tasting notes.

  After having dinner last night with all of my fellow snooth members and working through all of those "That" bottles. I have to say that the two Rieslings I had were my favorite wines of the night. I'll post some tasting notes soon. For now, I'll say, I am officially converted.

  Has anybody had a Riesling from Greece? I have not, but was told that they exist. If anybody has tried one, please step forward.
