Sorry August, (I like that cellar, maybe one day). I have been busy with Lucent, Calls, etc. On top of that, I was kidnaped by a bunch of morons on the Clinton Sanity thread.... I should not have gotten involved with those... er, intellectuals. Briefly, I read one of the posts talking about Late Harvest Rieslings... Try the Chateau Saint Michelle (Washington State), Late Harvest Riesling. It is a very nice dessert wine, comparable to even some of the finest berenauslesse, and even the trockenberenauslesse, from the Rheingau. While I like this wine, it is, after all a dessert wine, one than it is best enjoyed after dinner, or with some almonds and such. I wonder if Chateau St. Michelle would experience with some rieslings that would be more reminiscent of the great riesling of the Rheingau area in Germany. Yes I have tried some St. Michelle riesling, but they were on the thin side. Now, if I recall correctly, there was a Far Niente Rieasling at one time.... ? I do not remember this very well, anyone out there can refresh my memory about good Riesling from California and or Washington state ? As a point of interest I will mention that Thomas Jefferson gave world fame to one of the vineyards in the Rheingau, after he visited them, (and no doubt loaded up the "truck"), in 1788. That vineyard is located in the town of Marcobrunn (St Mary's Spring) between Erbach and Hattenhaim. The wines are called: Grosslage Deutelsberg, Hohenrain, Rheinhell and Siegelsberg. Jefferson also consumed the king of the late harvest wines.... Chateau d'Yquem, I forget the year of the bottle that once it was open (from Jefferson's cellar), and it was over 200 years old.... I am sure I have the data written somewhere.... I will find it. Anyway, thanks to the great information provided. Re: Sherry... Fino Tio Pepe, from Gonzalez Byass, the best.... Cream Sherry "Santa Maria" by Duff & Gordon (which also produces ports I think)... comments.... Thanks.
