Has it really been a month since my last post?
My adoring fans must be worried?

Why so long?
A really bad hangover?...uh...no
Was I avoiding the holiday writing schlock where if you write about wine you either have to write about sparkling wine or create a Top 100 list?...not really (Number 1 - No more Top 100 Lists)
Did I have a slothful attitude?...yeah pretty much.

So to start the new year off I am going to do three things;
Train my palate more like this 'How to train you palate'
Learn how to pronounce wine terms better
and try to remember vintages

Also
Look out for the First Installment of
Captain Bacon vs The Fruit Bomb and the Oak Monster.

2003 St Urban-Hof Reisling
Piesporter Goldtropfchen
Masel Saar Ruwer
10% a/v

Nice aromas of flowers, grapefruit and a damp earth mustyness with a petrol and white pepper overtone
Light mouthfeel, med acid, sweet but not too much with citrus and white pepper coming through on the palate.
Went well with Chicken Vindaloo.
Defiantly will buy again.

Music match for this year...Theme to James Bond

Here is a picture I found on the web today.  It is harvested Riesling grapes from Oregon.

Doesn't it look like candy!
