a Strange Wine Review

[AzRaeL]

Normally, I do not like wine. It just tastes weird and unpleasant to me.

However, I was at a party and the host said: try this - it's really good.

It was rated 95/100 by some wine taster fella. I was like..oh Okay.

and I took a glass of some 2001 Riesling Grand Cru by Marc Kreydenweiss.

One sip and I was like "oh my god!" it was Good. It tasted how I fancied wines are supposed to taste like. It was sweet but not as cloyingly sweet as an ice wine. It tasted of sunshine and nectar. It felt like nectar of the gods. The tasting notes said something about mineral tasting and berries and cinnamon.

I say - Whoa..it's good.

this is the review of the 2000

See, your problem was that you just weren't drinking good wine.

The wines of Marc Kreydenweiss are gaining in popularity by leaps and bounds. Kreydenweiss is a producer in the Bas Rhin area of Alsace. Most of the well-known producers are in the Haut Rhin. Kreydenweiss wines have been enjoyed for many years by me and others long before they started become darlings of the critics. They've always been hard to come by in the U.S. With word of mouth enjoyment, the distribution picked up a little. But hte points ratings will make them harder than ever to find in no time at all.

I'm glad you got to enjoy the wine. You've had a treasure that not many years-long wine geeks have experienced.
