QOTD: Yes and No. I have most of a case cellared of Weingut Johannishof 2004 Johannisberg “V” Kabinett that really impressed me. I think I would drink more except 1. I drink many more reds than whites and 2. I know so little about Rieslings that I don’t know where to start. It’s one of the areas I’m leaving for future explorations along with Burgundy (too expensive!)

QOTD: No I have not.

QOTD: Tons of German Riesling. Prum, Muller, even crummy hirschbach and sohn. Sugar and acid are a great combo, and its hard to get it as good anywhere but in Germany.

QOTD: LOVE German Riesling, so yes, yes. One of the few wines I’ve bought 6 of in one shot was a Darting Spatlese.

QOTD – yes and yes. Paired a dry Riesling with sushi recently and it went very well.

Yes and maybe. Had the J&H Strub and the Leitz Dragonstone and maybe another that I cannot remember.

Happy New Year and our best wishes to the WLTV family.

Link it up Mott!!!!!

GV,
Great episode once again. German reislings are what got me into wine many (many) years ago. Several business trips to Germany and several visits to my favorite weingut in Piesport on the Mosel and I was hooked. Ever had one from the Goldtropfchen (little drops of gold) vineyard? One of the best from the Mosel.
Gotta get summa that aussie shiraz for 7 bones.
thanks for the memories this year.

QOTD: No, no. I guess I haven’t….
I’m working on it!!!!!! 😉
p.s. That final rinse was pretty cutting edge, VayVay. Cutting edggggge!

Yes, no.

I’ve had bunches. Have an 03 JJ Prum WS spatlese in the cellar as a matter of fact.

Like the mixed bags – always something new!
Almost half of my 90 wine cellar is german riesling. Mostly 05’s but some 04’s and 03’s. I especially love the ones where the minerality shines.

QOTD: Love the German Rieslings….and reislings in general. Here is what I like

cheap: Dr. Loosen
midrange: Prum
favorite: Armin Diehl

We have had a lot of trouble getting Diehl Rieslings…any secret to finding them?

Lovely ep, GV.
QOTD: Love Riesling. Have had many. Will have many more!

I love German Rieslings..I appreciate their sweetness. I’ve had few Prums.,. Talking about 2003 Bordeaux and the Oak Monster, I tried over X-mas the 2003 Ch Bellefont Bercier Grand Cru St. Emilion, and was disappointingly struck as well with the heavy oak that eclipsed the good fruit and the great potential of this wine…Cheers

QOTD: Yes, sadly no 🙁

QOTD;
I have actually been to J.J. Prum winery in Wehlen Germany, may 2007, but unfortunately they do not do tastings , but we were lucky enough to taste thru wines from his neighbor Dr. Weins-Prum, and Studert prum, up around the bend, all 3, within a mile of each other. I purchased wines from all, but jj was the best. The 2005 rieslings are exceptional, and yes I have had more than 2 German Rieslings!

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GV!!

Nice ep… I hope you’re having great holidays!

QOTD: 1) YES and 2) YES! Just had one tonight, Studert-Prum Wehlener Auslese 2005… Pretty good, a solid 90-pointer, although not as exciting as the WS score of 94 had me thinking… My favourite producer is probably Dr. Loosen

QOTD: yes, yes.
But i tried only the entry level ones (kabinetts and cheap spatleses). Never liked them. Too sugary or syrupy and no acidity to balance it. However, since i’m stubborn and wanna find out why everyone says is the greatest white wine ever, or why they get those huge scores, i recently bought a J.J. Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese from the 2005 vintage. I’ll wait till next year or two and give it another try to these German rieslings. Meanwhile, i’ll drink the alsacean ones. Keep up the good work, Gary. We love you.

Yes and Yes (6)

Yes. I have had more than one. Dont remember which ones they just dont floor me like some other wines do.

ya bitte, zwei mal…Ya Ya, for sure mit Kuchensenfstuhl!

QOTD: Yes and Yes. About 5 German Reislings and very happy with all of them!

I’ve had one. Don’t remember the name. I enjoyed it. Don’t know why I haven’t gone back.

Great episode, Gary!! QOD: Yes and yes. Actually, I also still have, from Pieroth winery, from Austria, a 1983 Illmitzer Kaisergarten Beerenauslese. Say that three times, really fast!

QOTD – Yes and Yes. Too many to count
