What's your favourite wine?

@ChrisC said in What's your favourite wine?:

@FOXY Never had an aged Riesling myself but I do really like a nice mineraly Riesling so I am pretty jealous of that one

Less jealous of the sherry vinegar...

I can imagine some of those '99s will be excellent, so hope you enjoy

Good dry Rieslings can be amazing for the reasons you mentioned - crisp, mineral/minerality and the wet, damp stone cellars.
with some of the Ahr and Mosel GG's you can get some really big cinema if you let them sit for a decade or two. but those need some grape sugars to get there.

Spontaneous warm temperatures a Friday? = Spontaneous aperitif!
Raw Pet Nat! Raw cheeses! Strawberries!

is into Chateau Musar

I used to drink a lot of the red in the early/mid nineties when it was an absolute bargain.....

@Giles only became aware of them in the mid 2000’s…
Good thing is that there are lots great, younger vineyards in Europe with decent bottles in the €10-20 price bracket.
The odd thing in the UK and Scotland is that I can’t find a decent wine shop or merchant - it’s terrible supermarket stuff or stiff-upper-lip, prestigious labels stuff only. Very little in between.

You tried The Wine Society?

@FOXY wine society is good. St John do good wine, and they deliver. I have had some good, more modern wine from The Sourcing Table.

will check both - did Wine List (from 2020, not The Wine List website) a while back, but they went bust after a year or two...
