I never ever had a Pieroth wine in my life, except for a kind of a sales party the organized here at the Vienna Hilton over 30 years ago where they offered quite ordinary Côtes-du-Rhône and similar stuff at more than outrageous prices. Ortega is one of these new German crossings that Wolfram Siebeck, the doyen of German gastronomy critics, commented about back in 1976: "Diese Neuzüchtungen, die so schmecken, wie's beim Bahnhofsfriseur riecht", these new breedings that taste like the smell of a railway station barber/hairdesser shop. Thus said, it could very well be fine -- I simply wouldn't bet on it. M.
