I recently had the honor of choosing the wines for my friend, and fellow wine-enthusiast's, wedding which included a wine tasting. From the comments that she and I overheard from guests, the wines were a huge success. The next few postings will be showcasing these wines, which are some of my favorites!
Wedding Wine 1:
Chateau St. Michelle, Eroica, Riesling, Columbia Valley, 2006 (Wine Spectator 91)
This Riesling simply amazes me. It is rich and fruit-forward with subtle mineral notes that dance on your tongue. For you red wine connoisseurs who have difficulty appreciating most white wines (I used to be one of you), you will be surprised by this complex and bold Riesling. This wine was made in collaboration with the Dr. Loosen estate in Germany's Mosel region (Riesling experts!). Jay Miller from the Wine Advocate described it in a press release as "Light straw-colored, it offers up a lovely floral, mineral, honeysuckle bouquet, crisp flavors featuring melon and pineapple, excellent balance, and a long, pure, refreshing finish." This was the first (and only) wine to run out at the wedding, and it went fast!
