A sweet late harvest botrytis Riesling is stepping a bit into the world of the strange and bizarre. To gaze at a grape covered with mold (miniscule mushrooms!) and shriveled by the sun . . . grayish . . . raisinish. To see inside, the droplet of ambrosia, juice transformed by “The noble Rot” into decadence for us mere mortals. A jug of ordinary wine condensed to this small bottle of pure pleasure. The perfect sipping vessel for this elixir? Fine crystal? Yes. A goblet of gold encrusted with jewels? Sure. Or perhaps a navel? (Oh! My! Says Aunt Emma.) residual sugar: 8.5%
