First Riesling

[mrdutton]

And will not be my last. Up until Easter, I am ashamed to say, I have never tasted a Riesling.

I served Mosel-Saar-Ruwer Riesling Kabinett, 1996 Ockfener Bockstein (J.H. Wagner, Saarburg) with dinner. What a wonderful wine! It paired very nicely with the Pork Tenderloin Normande, Risotto Primavera, and the curried fruit (apples & pears).

The wine melded together with the dinner quite nicely. It was crisp and fruity but not overly bold, probably due to the low alcohol content of 8%.

As soon as some room opens up in my wine rack, I shall be stocking more Riesling, that is for sure.

First, though, I have to find a way of getting rid of the over-oaked cali chardonnay that is taking up space.
