How to tell a very good wine

[Florida Jim]

2006 Weil, Riesling Estate Trocken:

A nice, deep, dry riesling with good varietal character, structure and length. Lovely with a dish of pasta with chicken, zucchini and cream sauce.

Diane and I had our lunch out on the porch (covered) in a rain storm. Toward the end of our lunch, it really started to come down. Next thing I know, we are racing around the yard naked, dogs trying to keep up, whooping and hollering (and barking) like youngsters. (Obviously, it’s a good thing we live on ten wooded acres.) Then, back up on the porch to the last of the wine, laughing hard and toweling off very excited (and soaked) dogs.

I haven’t any idea how all this got started but I’m buying more of this bottling the first chance I get.

Best, Jim

It is true. One hallmark a of a very good wine is that it is not a chore to drink it. It sounds like this wine achieved that hallmark! Gotta love it. Those are the moments life is made for.

Are you going to start a video blog Jim?

Hmm, given that I don't live on 10 wooded acres, but in a semi-detached house in suburbia, I'd better be careful sampling this...

Great post, FJ. That truly is the sign of a good wine!

forget tasting notes at the wine store. I am just going to search for the POS that says, "makes you wanna get N-E-double K-by God-I-D" ":"^)
