Saturday we took David to JFK (going to St Andrews for a college
visit), then returned to Dobbs Ferry for dinner at the house of some
friends. They had made a mild chicken curry, with condiments (nuts,
coconut, chutneys, etc) on the side; first course was a poached pear
with blue cheese salad. He had a bottle of red and a Riesling ready, I
carried the same (we never opened my Morgon).

2003 Terrabianca Campaccio
Though I've liked this wine a lot in previous vintages, I was a little
sceptical tasting- would this be an example of the 2003 European
curse? No, a pleasant surprise. Certainly a bit lusher/plusher than
previous vintages (except maybe the '97), but still with clean bright
acidity. Pretty cherry and red plum fruit, a little tobacco and cedar.
Tannins are fine but a little out there at the moment, I'd give this
one just a couple years in cellar. B+

2004 Theo Minges Gleisweiler Holle Riesling Kabinett (Pfalz)
Not a producer I have heard of before. Not as sweet as some Pfalz
kabinetts, brighter than I expected. Tropical (guava/mango) fruit with
a squirt of lime, nice (true) Kabinett. B+/B

2005 Donnhoff Riesling QbA
Tasty, but maybe not quite up to the level of some previous vintages
of this. Certainly quite drinkable but not as zippy/vibrant as in
past. Not a bad value, but for once I don't think I'll go back for
more. 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.
