Subject: Re: Hi Fellow Wine Buddies, I've a |
| Hi Tom My wife who is a teetotaller is beginning to like wine after drinking the Gunderloch Auslese I bought. It is from Rhinehessen too. Some connoisseurs say, wine with even a little residual sugar is for the unsophisticated drinkers, this explains why the majority go for the bone-dry style...find it kind of absurd...not true to their palate. I don't distaste the dry style but too much of it and you get tired. Besides bone-dry whites like a heavily wooded chardonnay is NOT suitable for spicy Asian cuisine like hot Thai curry...the dryness and high alc. adds on to the heat in your mouth whereas a fruity, fresh and not-too-high alc. German riesling will be just great. I tried telling people in other forums about this, they just piss me off., dismissing German rieslings as plonks. Reckon one has to be eating Asian food regularly to understand. For red wine, I like it dry, what about you? Have you drunk a Riesling from Dr. Loosen? Trust me, I am NOT lying, it's well-balanced with good acidity, very long finish and fruity. Not too sweet. Quite costly in Singapore, $70. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom and Gill Broadaway" <tombway@yahoo.com> To: <wineforum@wein-plus.com> Sent: Friday, April 01, 2005 4:20 AM Subject: [wineforum] Re: Hi Fellow Wine Buddies, I've a > That would be a disaster in my opinion. My wife prefers the sweeter wines of the Rhinehessen region - the brown bottles. I recently purchased some Nackenheimer Riesling (believe it or not here in Florida where it is difficult to get good German wine). It was not a spatlese but it was very good. Not as sweet as most Rheinhessen but medium with very fruitty taste. Don't believe the German vinyards would leave the Riesling to the Alsace region of France. > > Raymond <raymd@singnet.com.sg> wrote: > > > >> > >>Hi > >>Considering the global trend for Dry wines, do you guys or ladies > >>think the Lieblich style for Riesling will remain viable? > >>Will Germany stop the production of fruity wine (a mildly sweet > >>Spatlese for example) in the near future? > >>Regards > >>Raymond > >>Singapore. > >> > >>This message was created using the Web-based forum : > >>www.wein-plus.com/forum/ > > > >I'dont think so!
