Well, as I mentioned a few weeks ago, I've been thinking a lot about Riesling lately. This is perhaps the greatest white wine grape on the planet.
Now you get to jump in with both feet. Next week we're going to taste nothing but white wines from Germany and Austria, including five Rieslings. These will range from searingly bone dry to dessert-wine sweet.
I've had my trepidations about trying something like this, mostly because many want a range of different varietals at a tasting. And everybody wants to end with a big Cab. I've decided I don't really care, though. Once in a while, at least, we can do something aimed at perhaps opening up some eyes and challenging preconceived notions and tastes. If you want to just drink some Cab or Chard, you can go to a restaurant and order whatever you want. Here, you're at my mercy.
Please come anyway. : )
