More thoughts on Reisling

[txkajun]

Ok, so I guess I have about 10 wines in my personal repertoire. (wow).

Yesterday I stopped to get another bottle of a particular wine from here in Texas that I tried and loved. As I was looking at a bottle of Reisling (because I've seen it recommended here), a guy mentioned that he and his wife really like this one. So, for the low price of just over 5 bucks, I bought it. OH...MY...GOSH! This one I LOVED!! It is Schmitt Sohne Reisling 2000 and says 'qualitaatswein b.a." under the vintage.

The label is a beautiful purple color with a smiling sun. The bottle a lovely blue.

Even though I am not yet well learned in TN's, I can say I totally loved this wine. I got a deep taste of fruit, and I really can only describe what I experienced as the taste of the grape peel on a really good firm biting grape. That taste of sweet, tart, and a slight hint of almost bitter (?) was there as the wine went down my throat.

I am totally buying more of that stuff!
