WTN: '07 Schloss Lieser QbA

[Mark Lipton]

With Jean absent for several nights at a meeting, single parenting means a sharp limitation of dining options. Tonight, Andrew and I decided upon a dinner of cheese ravioli, so I whipped together a concoction of the aforementioned ravioli, pesto, crumbled bacon, peas and asparagus. With this kitchen sink cuisine I poured myself from an open bottle:

2007 Schloss Lieser Riesling QbA
nose: sulfur, peaches, stones, a hint of petrol
palate: crisp acidity, slightly off-dry, peach-lime fruit, strong minerality

Amazingly enough, this was a decent match with the food, and a lovely wine in every respect. Although there was an initial whack of burnt matchstick, it quickly blew off. Purchased for ~$15 during Crush's white wine sale.

Sounds very nice Mark, thanks for the note. I enjoyed the 06 of this a great deal - shall keep an eye out for the 07.

Table & Vine had the '07 on the shelves last time I looked.

This one is good enough to mix it with lemonade or soda. Goes fine with Cheeseburgers and Big Macs. Second glass tastes better than the first.
