Glenora hospitality

[Thomas]

Yesterday, kcwhippet and I gladly succumbed to Gene's hospitality at Glenora. I say gladly because we had a wonderful series of Riesling flights that took in a bunch of Finger Lakes producers and a bunch of Glenora past and present Riesling offerings.

There was a lot to like, and only a little to find fault with, but there was no reason to find fault with the generosity at Glenora, even if it took cajoling to get Gene to stand up and to pour the wines...

And, kc and I met for the first time--and I met his wife too, who has a good wine palate and an interesting food agenda!!!

Inc identally, the two ringers in the tasting, Dr. Loosen Spatlese and Hogue Late Harvest showed mixed results when compared to Finger Lakes Rieslings. The former stood up fine, the latter was no contest.

The results of the tasting will wind up in my upcoming article for Slowfood magazine regarding the Finger Lakes.
