Peter Adler Auslese Riesling - $11.50

Peter Adler Auslese Riesling Overall Rating: Value:

An amazing value for Auslese (certified ripeness) fruit from Germany's Mosel River Valley. Classic light petroleum and mineral nose yet flavor sweet and soft with hints of apricots and vanilla cake. A great German staple with pork of all kinds and cheeses from soft Brie to hard Gouda.

Mosel is steep slate hillside river banks. Auslese is higher quality than Spatlese which is higher than Kabinett. Higher level of ripeness mean higher potential alcohol or sweetness. Cool climate means acidity can still be here with sweetness. No added sugar allowed! Grape: Riesling 100% From: Mosel, Germany Oaking: none

    #3 Armas de Guerra Rose

    My heavens! 50+ year old, organic Mencia vines from some of the highest vineyards in Bierzo. Subtle aromas of strawberry, pink grapefruit and white pepper play with clean river rock minerality touched by zesty key lime. Balance and finish are tied together with a vibrating acidity. Structured and executed like a world class ballerina doing flamenco. Sells out every year for good reason. Lighter than Provence, a different planet than White Zin. The only hard part is only opening one bottle at a time. (behind by 3 bottles)
