Two Rieslings
Apr 1st, 2005 by Ashley
Yesterday Yan asked me to take her to Cosco cuz there's
something wrong with her car battary. I found two Riesling
which aren't very cheap but temping still. One is Cheteau
Ste. Michelle & Dr. Lossen 2004 Eroica Riesling, which got a
very high rating for its 2003 Eroica Riesling. costs 17 something.
I bought a Cheteau Ste. Michelle 2004 Johannesberg Riesling a
while ago becuz of its Eroica. Now I finally got a Eroica!
However, 2004 is pretty new, so I'm thinking about holding it for
a while to allow it mature.
Therefore, I guess I'll open my other Riesling first.
Maximin Gruenhaeuser Riesling 2002 from Germany. Qualitaetswein.
However, I can't help but wondering if it's a fake or not, cuz I
can't find info on this bottle anywhere on the web, and the teg
is not very clear either. It doesn't specify whether it's a Qmp or
QbA(?). Sigh, hope it's good. I so long for Germany whites.
And it's definitely a hint from above that I didn't buy Hougue Late
Harvest Riesling 2002 the day before. I was in Safeway and came
accorss Hougue and another Riesling. I found that Late Harvest is
running out. Behind the Late Harvest tag there are actually 04
Johannesberg Riesling, (the color is very different!), and there
are only 2 bottle of LH left. I was gonna bought them but then
something stopped me.
If I had bought the two Rieslings that day, I wouldn't be able to
buy the two I have now…which would make me very very sad, cuz
it's so hard to find German wines here.
