Hmm, the best stem for deisel must be Reidel

Yup - both diesel and petrol are petroleum distillates but with different odours and sometimes a Riesling seems more like one than the other.

Perhaps our biochemist can pipe up with a description of the difference, and maybe even what compounds in a wine remind us (note that I didn't say they were necessarily the same compounds) of these petroleum products.

The producer of the Riesling was also new one on me, and yes, I'd have expected more acidity, but it was....pleasant.

As we had to leave to get across a crowded international border, we didn't get around to drinking a couple of other wines we'd brought.
