Betsy made curry crusted pork tenderloin with a fruit (plum and peach I
think) chutney, with chard and brown rice. Not exactly wine friendly,
there was enough heat I reached for a Riesling, the 2005 Mönchhof
(Robert Eymael) "Mosel Slate" Riesling Spätlese. I usually am wary of
Old World wines that use brand name designations rather than appelation
based, but as Claude Kolm had said good things about this I had gotten
one. I think I'll get more. The sweetness of the Spätlese countered
the spiciness of the pork, and the peach and lime flavors of the
Riesling melded well with the fruit-meets-heat&spice of the chutney.
Good finish, with some slatey mineral notes to give the name
credibility. Good value at $15. B+/B

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
