Heron Hill Dry Riesling

[Innkeeper]

2000 Heron Hill, Finger Lakes, Dry Riesling ($9). Did something special for mother tonight (for those of you on the Left Coast, that is an affectionate Maine name for one's wife, in my case the lovely Beverly). Anyhow, I gave her an extra carb pill, and made authentic Continental Wiener Schnitzel with Spaetzle, and salad. Got a half pound (four small) of veal scallops, pounded them very thin, tri-coated them, sauteed them in OO & lard, and squeezed some lemon juice on top. Served with aforementioned Spaetzle with butter & poppy seeds, and salad, AND the Heron Hill Riesling. Wonderful! They make it in the style of Alsace, only better than most. Citus and other tropical fruits on the nose and upfront. More complex fruit and crisp acidity across the palate, and a very nice finish. There was not enough wine in the bottle. Maybe two next time.
