Introduction

As we are not only Riesling-aficionados we are still searching for the best steak in our home town!
This time we choose the Delta Bistro. Very good service, no problem for BYO and a fair priced wine list! To be highly recommended!
Very good Steaks and this is for sure:
Riesling is a perfect match for beef!

Flight 1 - Riesling trocken (5 Notes)

  • 2016 Weingut Meier Weyher Michelsberg Riesling Trocken

    Germany, Pfalz

    One bottle from the wine-tasting at the wine fair some weeks ago, Very dense and rich , fullbodied stonefruit, almost lush showing, quite high ABV (13,5%) for a Riesling from the 2016 vintage, but all components balanced and harmonic, ending long saline with supporting acidity, outstanding Riesling from a fairly unknown estate, recommended!**(*+ -?), 90+ potential

  • 2016 Klosterhof Schwedhelm Riesling Schwarzer Herrgott Trocken

    Germany, Pfalz

    Next bottle from an until some weeks ago for me unknown estate, this part of the "Schwarzer Herrgott" is Pfalz country, in english this is "The Black Lord", the name is supposed to be from a cross installed by the holy Philipp from Zell in the 8. century!The vinyard is on the border between the Pfalz and Rheinhessen, 9,6 hectars are Pfalz, 60 hectars are Rheinhessen, but the VDP only allows to use the central part for a GG, this one is very restrained still, smoky as smoky can be, herbal, taut with great tension, ending limy saline with a long aftertaste, give this one some more 2- 3+ years in the bottle, recommended, (***-?), 89+ potential
