For 12 weeks, we feature a wine, and include tasting notes and suggestions for pairings. At the end of the 12 weeks, we’ll review our Mixed Case, and recap the choices. Each mixed case will be chosen by a local wine shop owner, who will also become our wine expert-in-residence during his or her tenure. (So should we need recommendations for a holiday, for example. we’ll ask.) We’ll get a new expert for each case. Right now, we’re working on our Mixed Case chosen by Michael Koehler of Suburban Wines & Spirits in Yorktown Heights.
LoHud Wine of the Week
Schmitges Dry Riesling 2011: Aromatically intricate, minerally and slatey, it shows off the terroir of the Mosel. With rich, ripe acidity, it sets the appetite in motion. Region: Mosel, Germany. Price: $12.79 for 1 liter. Goes with: Sole in creamy sauce, sushi, potato latkes. Why I chose it: Bottlings like this 1-Liter non-commercial Mosel are the greatest white wine values in the world, and prove that perhaps the best Rieslings are dry.
This is bottle 2 in our series.
