This is "I am the victor at home wine"!! So...I am the top-scorer at my Court of Master Somms test today so I'm sorta on cloud 5,000. At least cloud 5. So I champagne toasted with the Master Somms but why not call it a night with a passion wine? Passion being Riesling. The brittle acid jumped into the apricot-y honey-ed sweetness of this spatlese that...well all I can do now is contemplate if I would identify this blind..which I think I could because the notes of petrol are so fantastic. It's the acid + acid + honeysuckle + petrol ( minor compared to many Rieslings) that made it clear this was a Riesling from Germany. Damn tasty. But do not pair with steak unless covered in a crazy spicy sauce. Could go with spicy. Could go with...I'm imagining having it after dinner with tuiles because I am a baking nerd. A crisp almond-y cookie dipped (on the end just barely) in chocolate? Hell im gonna start baking right now...
