  • What’s the plan eh? Today, tomorrow or 5 years from now? Retiring to Santa Fe in 2 years to spend more time working on Naional Health Policy and Native American Health issues. Tomorrow, well Father’s day from the point of this episode.

    A little disappointed in this episode because it implied that Rieslings need to have entry level. German and Alsatian Rieslings are great buys until you get into the stratosphere of Trockebeerenauseles. For newbies some instruction on the labeling of German Rieslings would probably be a great help as the labeling of wines in Germany can be very confusing for the unitiated. Not much of a fan of Rieslings that aren’t German or Alsatian though. Never much taste to them.

    The plan is to grow my one Rieslings in my garden and make wine. (Is any one interested in seeing the progress?)

    GV,
    Riesling’s are more complex than I expected. Thanks for turning me on to them. Sounds like we have a nice option or two.
    The plan is to retire young, play lots of golf, and drink lots of wine!

    I’m a huge riesling fan. Everyone should look up an earlier episode (216) where GV tasted Hermann J Weimer from the finger lakes. It’s one of my top 5 wines of all time. Served it at my wedding. Get it.

    QOTD: Establish a ground game in the 1st to open up the play action.

    What’s the plan? Oh, there’s a plan alright. Big plan. Serious plan. Dangerous plan. There are things about me you wouldn’t know, you couldn’t know….you shouldn’t know.

    Stay way from those low alchohol Rieslings. They are almost always too SWEET!

    Appreicate the riesling episode. Couple years ago when I was just getting into wines took a trip to the Finger Lakes and now riesling is a conerstone of my white wine cellar. QOTD: Probably just to drink more and different wines and play more golf. Lacking a little bit in both.

  • Mr. Ambassador

    Living in the northwest I’ve tried several different rieslings as it is purported to grow well in areas of Washington State. I was impressed with the “Eroica” collaboration between Chateau Ste. Michelle and Dr. Loosen, though a much better value (as I found out through ordering at Wine Library) is the Loosen Bros. riesling which was available here!

    The Loosen Bros. wine was a big hit with those I work with and all who had attended our tour and tasting at Chateau Ste. Michelle (as they had some additional background on Loosen).

    Plan is to keep on tasting and gain the knowledge; every new wine sampled is an experience and the more I’m exposed to winemaking and tasting the more I learn.

    Thanks and keep up the good work!

    My plan is to buy a bigger wine rack for my basement – I need to get organized down there!
    Gary – the gourmet section of the store is great – you’re now a 1-stop party shop! (I’ve had several “all WL” parties – a few with just myself)

    Gary, I know I owe you a photo, I just want to make sure it’s a good one – it was going to be a kilted version last week but I forgot the wristband. I took it to Nice at the weekend but forgot to get it out of my bag. My bad, I’ll get there – be patient.

    QOTD. The plan – work, earn more money, buy more & better wine, stop work, drink more & better wine.
