Deep gold. Very delicate aromas of poached pear, white flowers and caramel. No petrol for me and none of those who tasted blind would have guessed riesling. This was lightly sweet and really danced on the palate. I probably would have guessed an old Alsatian Pinot Gris VT blind. A singular wine from the close out bin!

Old California Wine Dinner....1941-1986 (Merced, Ca): Had along side an '80 Joseph Phelps Scheurebe SS LH....this was a real treat! Lightly sweet, almost savory...lighter yellow color, pears, caramel, some petrol, minerals, lemon. Drank like a botrytis infected aged White Burg! I wish I would had saved some of this at the end of the night....really great wine.
