And that’s why the chart doesn’t rely solely on RS.
To my mind the majoar “weakness” in the chart is that it doesn’t account for fruit flavors. To a casual imbiber, fruit flavors in a wine are often confused with sweetness. On several occasions I’ve had people comment very favorably about the “sweetness” of a dry but fruity white wine. In fact, the reason why they like the so much is because it isn’t sweet; the profile of a dry fruity is often very pleasant to someone who is starting to tire of true sweetness in a wine.
Is this really expected to arrive by Christmas? With the few wine woots that I’ve done before, the wine seems to take a while. Will this come UPS or Fedex? I’d like to order but I am afraid I won’t be around when it actually arrives.
I’ve seen that on some of our local Finger Lake wines…and I agree, it is very helpful. Guess I’ll stick to NY wines…we are paying the same outrageous state taxes!
Hi, Jake here from Taft Street. While the grapes are the same, the growing climates differ, in that Germany and NY are a bit cooler/wetter while California has warmer temps resulting in slightly higher sugar levels. Our winemaker, Evelyn White stayed true to the style, both wines exemplify the varietal well.
We often taste the two regions together. Mike Martini’s brother owns Anthony Road in upstate NY and is well known for riesling, recently winning the Governors Cup for his most recent vintage.
Thanks for having us on wine woot! We’re excited to share our wines.
I have tasted at Anthony Road, and I think they have great wines. If I had any space/extra money I would buy this to compare to finger lakes vintages, but sadly that is not to be. Maybe next time.
