    What We’re Drinking – St. Urbans-Hof Riesling

    David Honig
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    Guava, baked apple and sweet key lime show on the nose. The palate is marvelously soft, silky, and round. Complex layers of tropical and citrus fruits last seemingly forever, then fade gently to nutmeg and sweet lime. Drink with fresh grouper. Highly Recommended. 92 points.

    You've likely heard that pinot noir and pinot gris (and pinot blanc) are genetically the same grapes. If you found that unsatisfying, you had the same reaction I did. Obviously they're not the same. Unless the interns go out and paint all of the pinot noir clusters purple at veraison,

    The nose shows apples, lemon zest, and a tiny touch of ginger. Terrific brightness zings across the palate, Honeycrisp apples, fresh-squeezed lemon and lime, with lemon and lime zest lingering with a few crumbles of Ginger Snaps. Drink with stone crab claws. Recommended. 88 points. DBH WHO: Graf v. Schönborn WHAT:

    I do hope that people who watch A Year in Champagne have seen this production company’s last feature, A Year in Burgundy. This Champagne film is like a Part Two in terms of wine education. It assumes a certain amount of wine knowledge. Drinking champagne is fun, glamorous, exciting. And

    This is truly a unique spirit. It is made entirely of rye and hand-malted barley, without any corn or other less expensive grain filler. The barley is smoked in a mix of apple and cherry wood, then the blended spirit is aged in used bourbon barrels with added cherry and

    We’ve loved and lost – but is there a glimmer of new hope now? I. The Affair and the Breakup I have loved Burgundy wines since I was knee-high to a jeroboam. They were the wines of my first bloom of vinous exploration (once I got past my Boone’s Farm

    The nose shows baked apple and a tiny dash of nutmeg. The wine is soft of the palate, baked apples and pears, with hite florals coming through on the mid-palate. It was aged in 50% natural oak and 50% stainless steel, and it shows. It has soft, sweet fruits with a
