Saturday self and Xina had our friend Bjarne who is a Benedictine monk on a
health sabbatical for a rather good dinner (do say so meself, even though I
was the cook).
B handed over a bottle of Dubeuf Beaujolais Noveau, while mentioning that
this was not what he had had in mind but that one was not to be had in the
shop.
As Bojolpifs go, it was not bad at all - very fruity and marshmallowy, went
down very well between the mussle soup and the game casserole.

It was with the final apfelstrudel Xina decided we needed a glass of
something sweet, and went down in the ccellar, came back with a Riesling GC
Saering 1998 from Dirler. We opened it, cork smelt OK. Poured it, and found
to our collective amazement fizzy bubbles starting to form in the glasses.
Smelt it - a nice mineral and fruit nose, nothing exc eptional - and tasted
it. Yep, definitely fizzy, giving an odd impression of soda pop. Also, less
of structure and complexity than expected from a wine with a GC status.

Anybody has any idea what was the matter?

Cheers

Nils Gustaf
