During "wine dispersal Sunday" (getting some cooperative buys to some
friends) the 2007 Selbach-Oster "Zeltinger Sonnenuhr" Kabinett. Slight hint of spritz, Granny Smith apple and lemon zest, nice balance of sweetness and acidity. Good length, nice wine, B+ I made salmon filets over a bed of French lentils, with a roasted root vegetable (everything leftover in fridge) side and a salad. Wine was the 2001 Herve Sigaut Chambolle Musigny. A fairly recent acquisition. Normally I only buy from a trusted list of Burgundy producers, but Chambolle produced a lot of over-achievers in '01, and this was cheap. Started off on the thinner side, with a tart edge. With some air it showed quite a bit of sweet red fruit , and inklings of some depth and complexity. It ain't Roumier, it's not even Drouhin, but a solid maturing Chambolle for a bargain price. B For Meatless Monday I did a Singapore stirfry of tofu, cabbage, and leeks. The seasoning leaned heavy on the ginger, so I went with Riesling, a 2001 Prager "Markus Prachensky -California Revisited" Smaragd. What a name! Apparently this is an artist series type wine, named after the label design (I quite like the label,a bold red/black abstract expressionist-esque piece). The wine is rather bold too- big ripe yellow plums and peaches, a honied note though it's definitely a dry wine. Talc-y chalky mineral edge, big, quite long on the finish. Just a hint of incipent petrol, peppery spice. Very interesting wine. More of a Pollock/de Kooning than a Newman/Kline. A- 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.** |
