With a dinner of hastily prepared arroz con pollo


2004 Selbach-Oster Riesling Kabinett Zeltinger Sonnenuhr (AP # 016 05)

nose: initially, stones, a hint of citrus and petrol, becoming peachier as it sat open palate: crisply acidic, light bodied, good fruit (grapefruit and peach)



Opened as experiment with the saffron-scented rice, etc., the wine went fabulously with the food, becoming even fruitier and less obviously acidic. The bottle went down all too easily, but was a welcome addition to our Friday night dinner.

Aha yes, I have some in my cellar, very good.

SO also make a (now wait for it...)...

a semi-sweet wine for diabetics.

Yes, not kidding, apparently the wine is high in fructose and low in other sugars, so it is suitable for moderate consumption by diabetics. Says so on the label...

cheers

Mark,

the 2004 SO Kabinett Zeltinger Schlossberg and, specially, the 2004 Spatlese from the same vineyard have been the wines of the vintage at our house.

We are fortunately enough to purchase them at 12 euros (the kabinett) and

15 euros (the spatlese) and my wife keeps asking me to open yet another bottle. And I have purchased about 12 of the spatlese.

Best,

Santiago
