[TN] Gysler Kabinett
One of the benefits of chatting about wines on the Internet is that one
gets a sense of whose tastes run close to their own, which in turn helps one parse tasting notes found on the Internet. A case in point arose when I received an email offer for an unfamiliar Riesling for a very attractive price. When I looked at the notes on this wine on Cellartracker, I found positive notes from David Bueker (Rieslingfan) and Salil as well as Lyle Fass, I was fairly confident that I'd like the wine. Last night, I put that confidence to the test by opening a bottle with some take-out Thai food: 2006 Weingut Gysler Riesling Kabinett Weinheimer nose: petrol, white peach and lime palate: off-dry, balanced acidity, sprightly fruity More substantial than a classic Kabinett, this wine was still light on its feet and refreshing at 8% ABV. Lovely with the mango salad and Tom Yum goong and a great QPR at the $8 per bottle I got it for. Mark Lipton -- alt.food.wine FAQ: http://winefaq.cwdjr.net |
