Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.

Riesling - 2005; Blue Mountain Vineyards; New Tripoli, Pennsylvania
This well aged Riesling has a lovely tropical and somewhat
floral bouquet. It is quite refreshing
chilled and still quite good for its age. The very deep yellow-straw hue will
be the first thing that catches your eye.
It comes across as semi-dry, but opinions could go either way. It had a smooth finish
and retained its character nicely in our wine cellar in spite of its age. This
Riesling can be quite versatile with many food pairings, but we found this one
to be a perfect match for slow cooked salmon.
Even for whites, it pays to wait sometimes. Enjoy!
