Case in point of the
fun of wine and a story to every bottle. I bought these bottles back around
1996 from the producer out of the back of his truck where he had set up a
mini farmers market along the road in Walldorf near Heidelberg (while
visiting you can imagine who). He was set up over by the hotel along the
motorway across the vegetable field from SAP world HQ complex. These bottles
were the only ones he had from these vintages. |
Dec 31, 2003 - Pfalz Maikammerer Heiligenberg Riesling Auslese 1990
RM 88 $12 Who says these wines aren't ageworthy? Fun wine to try. This
one exceeded expectations which matched the occasion - NY's eve tenderloin
and lobster dinner at home. Pulled out this 1990 to try - Alec's vintage
year - partly to celebrate his outstanding achievements this past year. Rich
unctuous wine - almost syrupy - subtle apricot, sweet apple and lemony
citrus with a touch of smoke. |
