Ann's House
Tasted Friday, March 12, 2010 by Kirk Grant with 552 views
Chris & Ann invited us over for dinner and asked me to bring a salad and appetizer with wines to pair with my food.
For my appetizer I did a mustard-horseradish schnitzel and a cucumber dill salad to pair with the Riesling.
My salad was an Arugula based salad with a passion fruit, and star fruit dressing with shaved Asiago and chopped grape tomatoes.
Braised Lamb with carrots, onions, and a wonderful gremolata
After the Raymond-Lafon we had a wonderful Strawberry/Apple pie made by Ann
A wonderful dinner that will spur more like this in the future...it's so wonderful to find people who enjoy wines of this nature and like to cook as well.
2001 Müller-Catoir Haardter Bürgergarten Riesling Spätlese 90 Points
Germany, Pfalz
Color: light canary yellow
Smell: Scents of petrol, pear, peach, and green apples.
Taste: Flavors of peach, nectarine, clementine, and quince played out along a medium-long finish.
Overall: A wonderful example of German Riesling that I would gladly buy again. This had lively acidity and brilliant fruit purity that lead me to believe this could still drink well for another 4-8 years with proper storage.
