Favorite Wine Of The Moment...

is the 1999 Weingut Robert Weil Riesling Halbtrocken, Rheingau... so oily, so beautiful. This is awesome stuff... I'm fully convinced (between this and the massive German tasting this past fall) that Robert Weil may be one of the 5 best producers in Germany right now... Tasted some of his 04s last week and they are awesome... on another note... tasted 6 premium Sakes today. I'll post notes when I dig them out. Very cool. Thinking about doing a pairing of a Sake with one of the courses on our menu... very cool idea.
