Gary – I have always found wines to change as they develop in the glass. You open them and bottle air but they don’t get a second chance, just 5 seconds of swirling, maybe a second swish and its done. Do you feel that opening up in the glass is more than it is racked up to be?

Nice to see my German blood make a good wine other than a reisling! QOTD: Never had one outside the US or France.

I recently had a great Spätburgunder “Blauer Spätburgunder QbA trocken” from Knipser in the Pfalz, Germany. The German Pinot Noir’s are coming.

Just back from a LONG vacation in the Caribbean and trying to catch up – very nice show. When I was in Bonn on business a couple of years ago, our hosts took us to a wine tasting of German wines that included several Pinot Noirs and many of them were quite good. Alas, I did not take any notes so I cannot tell you what they were.

QOTD: I’m afraid you predicted this one – Amisfield Pinot Noir from New Zealand (Central Otego).

Not the best I’ve had, but very good. Meerlust Pinot Noir (Stellenbosch) late 90’s I think. Was also pretty cheap (at least at the time).

Talking about new experience – from unknown areas. Try out some of the Germay Dornfelder from Badem Wurtemberg, or Zweigeldt from Burgenland Austria. Or even more excotic some Plavac from Croatia, and now I’am looking forward to the 18.th. of Nov. trying out the Vranacs of Montenegro, the real father of the Napa Zinfandeler. Its a great wineworld out there.

Cavit, Italy, fairly lean but I actually enjoyed it.
