Great wines at Oriole in Chicago!: Drank at Oriole in Chicago as part of a reserve tasting list. This was very nice. Fluid and nimble, with pretty Riesling fruit. Lightly weighted, in a good way, so as to be very food friendly.

MDW BBQ (Chicago, IL): (Thanks nanda for entering this into CT from the last time we had it.) Served double blind. Clearly a riesling with some age on it, showing a hint of gasoline, and from the sweetness, clearly an Auslese. This doesn't have the racy acidity I'd expect from Mosel, so I had it as something like a 15-year-old Rheingau or Pfalz, and from a relatively weaker vintage, as the wine wasn't too "clean".

PNP. cork perfect. color light straw. this was a little sharp when first opened and improved with air. even still remains more tart than sweet.

Out of 500ml. Modest nose of sweet white fruit. Rich, dense and sweet bordering on heavy. Diesel accents integrated into rich white fruit.
