    YES and YES!!! When I started drinking and appreciating wine I was in Germany and Riesling was about the only wine I drank.

    bluemerle

    yes, YES, especially fond of some vineyards in the Bacharach and Bingen areas. Unfortunately hard to find good rieslings jn America – so many places carry Schmitt Sohn or sweet rieslings and thinkthey have it covered.

    yes and yes- sometimes it’s the only way i can get my Dad to enjoy a complex wine (I think he digs the residual sugars)

    Yes, yes, yes. The first serious wine I remember drinking and enjoying after having grown up on Thunderbird and Ripple and Grandpa’s homemade wine was a Mosel Riesling in college. These days I drink mostly red wines–except for German Rieslings.

    But *please* learn how to pronounce “spätlese” correctly. The umlaut over the “a” changes it to a long vowel (”aay” instead of “ah”). “Spät” rhymes with “late”.

    Spice Route Pinotage, Charles Back makes good wines, I’m looking for this, & that Riesling sounded luscious!

    QOTD – Yes, one of my faves & Yes, 7 different ones in the last couple of years, and more in the cellar :) .

    Have only ever had one, a local one from a small producer brought back from Germany by a friend. It was GOOD! It had acidity/zippiness AND residual sugar on the end which seems rare in Australian white wines and riesling.

    “Bit a live bird?” Hilarious! Yes and Yes but it’s been a long time.
    The more you tell me I can’t have a “Mott, Link it Up” shirt, the more I want one!

    German rieslings are terrific. The Von Hovel, Prum, Urbanhof, Dopff & Irian…delicious!

    QOTD: Yes and Yes

    Need to try more though because it seems to offer a tremendous range of flavors that could pair well with many foods.

    Thanks for another great show!

    nolongeralurker

    Yes – and yes! I like them a lot but am still trying to get used to the sweeter ones. For some reason sugar in wine really turns me off, even when it’s well done.

    Phil A
