History of Riesling

[winoweenie]

Foodie, I`m not getting in on this thread for a moment, for as you pointed out, I could care less. I do happen to agree that you , Innkeeper, Winecollector, et. al., are definately the masters of your fate. What you like, enjoy, eat,drink, and covet is each of your business. You made a comment to me about all of the tannins and oak destroying my taste buds....the wonderful part about a great aged red is them dudes have become integrated into the whole... silk, satin, buttery mouthfeel....believe me my tastebuds are alive and well and waiting until tonight to enjoy another red. Randy,I have been a great fan of Syrah since tasting some of the superb Cote Roties from the 78 vintage. It is an extremely interesting grape that plays to a lot of different tunes. Some of the older Phelps syrahs developed into killer wines.Bucko,don`t you appreciate my kind offer? Winoweenie
