Yet another note on this perennial favorite:

2007 Dönnhoff Riesling QbA
nose: limes, stones and a hint of peach
palate: light, lithe, crisp acidity, slightly off-dry

Tonight, for Andrew's 5th birthday we got pizza (his request) and opened
a birthyear wine:

2004 Dom. de l'Espigouette Cotes du Rhone Vieilles Vignes ($12.95)
nose: very meaty Grenache fruit, dark cherries
palate: medium body, good acidity, fruit, meat (beef blood?) and some
minerality

A fine pizza wine, this perennial favorite in our household yet again
comes through. Although very fine tonight, this wine would have no
problem aging another 3-5 years IMO. (Again, a CdR from a Vacqueyras
producer)

How many glasses of the wine did Andrew drink? ;-)

Wow, 5 already! Happy Birthday to him.
I like the 07 Donnhoff a lot, have a few left, but a bottle of 08 in
queue to compare
My only experience with Espigouette is a bottle you gave me, which I
quite liked

Although I offered him a taste of the CdR, he declined it.
