Most know I’m not a fan of 2003 German wines but the reds are a different story especially in good hands, like at Georg Breuer in Rudersheim. I tasted with Heinrich last summer and was impressed. Tasted in the comfort of my own home, it’s still good. Very good. Not even terribly expensive (under $25? Don’t quote me). There’s fainted rose on the nose, well, more like rose dust. And then there are clinging tannins on the back of the throat and these should sweeten up, evolving into a pretty spicy addition. Awfully minerally a lovely wine in a medium weight package. Very lovely.

I'm hunting the Leon Trotskys, the Philip Roths, the Chaucers and the Edith Whartons of the wine world. I want them natural and most of all, I want them to speak the truth even if we argue. With this messiah thing going on, I'm trying to swell the ranks of those who crave the differences in each vintage, celebrate nuance and desire wines that make them think, laugh, and feel. Welcome.
And, if you'd like a signed copy, feel free to contact me directly.
