was given blind and my first guess was riesling. wonderful fruit and minerality, very rich in the mouth yet only has 12.5% alc. and long, mouthfilling finish. delicious and one to buy.

Bone dry. Too fast b/c pre opera but this was just chiseled wine and I would think especially nice in the summer. I would gladly drink this again, though some would likely prefer more fruit

(Muller Thurgau ANSELMET) Grab Bag Dear Friends, I suppose this could have been a second Friday Special (it seems we've had two lately) or a "free for all" special but let's call it a grab bag of interesting wine, most at prices that are eye-opening indeed. All are directly from the source with perfect provenance. Have a good weekend everyone - new TN's out next week and an update on the website chat room (we're getting close). - Jon Rimmerman 2006 Anselmet "Muller Thurgau" (bianco) This is an insane price - usually line-priced with the Chardonnay. 2004/2006 Anselmet "Petit Rouge" STRICT LIMIT 3/person Think the Le Prisonnier is interesting? Try this... 2006 Anselmet "Tourette" STRICT LIMIT 3/person (this is usually $20-30 more than the Petit Rouge) Think the Petit Rouge is interesting?
