2/2 It seems like a different wine then, always prime time and delicious. Only 7.5% alcohol, it coats the palate and takes charge, refreshing the unseasonable warmth we had this week. It's Riesling weather, baby! Golden hued, it's in perfect shape. #wine #winesofgermany #riesling #auslese

1/2 This '01 Auslese fuder #10 (the winery bottled large vats separately) has been gracefully aging for a while. As I work through my stash, that remains true. I love the burnished nuances here with the fine depth. To 2 #riesling #auslese #mosel #germany

'01 Auslese fuder #10 (winery bottles vats separately) has been gracefully aging for a while. As I work through my stash, that remains true. I love the burnished nuances here with the fine depth.For an off-dry Auslese, it's on the dry, sterner side of the scale, focused & showing minerality. It's crisp & tenser with air, and has plenty of power on the finish. I've a few left. I'm not thinking I will outlive them  so no rush! 
8.5%, an incredible bargain $15.49 back then. #wine #riesling #auslese

Hebräisches Wort auf T-Shirt – Linkes Café wirft Paar raus

Mit dem „Falafel Humanity Shirt“ wird Geld gesammelt für die Friedensinitiative „Women Wage Peace“ in Israel. Doch im „K-Fetisch“ in Berlin-Neukölln tritt darüber Antisemitismus zutage.

@MarkSquiresWine That's quite an interesting topic. German Auslese wines usually have some degree of sweetness. In the past, Auslese Trocken was rather uncommon, but nowadays export markets tend to prefer dry wines, so producers have developed systems to communicate this "dry" character to consumers.
In the case of Molitor, more than the asterisks, the key is the color of the capsules: white for dry, green for off-dry, and golden for sweet. #wine #germanwines #auslese #auslesetrocken

2/2 Not a dessert wine, but certainly a step (or two) off a dry table wine; so, plan accordingly. Of course, you might drink it so fast, you won't notice the backbone. It's slurp-a-licious. 7.5% alcohol, only in the low $30s back then. Maybe double that now? #wine #riesling #auslese #germany

2/2 This was just gorgeous, ripe and rich, yet with an underlying core of acidity that held the sugar to account and kept it from being flabby. Irresistible. Riesling is immortal, right?🥂 #wine #riesling #auslese #mosel
