DESTINATION: Pfalz, Germany
WINE: Reichsrat Von Buhl Armand Riesling Kabinett 2008 (white) Rating: NNNN
The road less travelled on your gastronomic tour of Europe but well worth the detour. Get Armand hammered drinking this delicious Riesling with its inviting bouquet of ripe apple and apricot. Be prepared for an impression of sweetness that is completely balanced by acidity and minerality. Load up the vacation iPod with Horst Jankowski’s Walk In The Black Forest.
FOOD: If you can wait until September, be sure to visit Bad Dürkheim’s famous sausage fair. I’d go anywhere for a sausage fair.
PRICE: 750 ml/$19.95
