Please do, Anders. I've been very interested in receiving people's impressions of the recent releases from the MSR, especially now that Jean has made her peace with Riesling :-) Did you attend any of the auctions or other events?

Sorry to be "chiant" Mark, but they did change the region to simply Mosel about two months ago, so no acronyms needed any more...

and then the windows trolls moved in!

Not really, it's our old troll zara/redhart, starting another cross-posting troll to this group. The other posts are just by the clueless or inconsiderate who make a troll's life worth living, I guess.

The weather was unusually lovely except for raw, cold and foggy mornings, but after midday skies were blue and temperatures pleasant. The harvest had started in lesser vineyards and vintners were pleased with the grapes that will go into the bread-and-butter wine for daily consumption. I stood by one who measured the juice and heard: 90 degrees...! Summer had not been bad, I learned, with sufficient sun, warmth and rain and given another week with good weather this vintage may be extraordinary. Everybody were quite busy and one learns quickly to stay out of the way and cut back on idle talk :-)
