A Riesling tasting at the neighbourhood wine shop

Just dropped by the neighbourhood wine shop (specializing in organic wines) whilst they were having a tasting over the weekend, this time they had a lineup of Rieslings and a special organic Corbieres. They showed an interesting wine which someone had given them, a Chinese Riesling in the New World mould. That's for another blog entry. Then (disregarding the red wine prior to the Auslese sweetie) followed a series of three Rieslings from three different makers, but all from the MSR region. First an Ayler Kupp Qualitatswein from the Saar, then back to Mittelmosel with a Trittenheimer Apotheke Spatlese, and (after the red) a Brauneberg Juffer Sonnenuhr Auslese from Fritz Haag. That progression showed off the German Rieslings nicely, and illustrated why although New World dry Rieslings have their own charm, German Rieslings have a very special place in my heart.
