Such Grape Heights: 2009 Albino Rocca Moscato d’Asti
http://suchgrapeheights.blogspot.com/2010/06/2009-albino-rocca-moscato-dasti.html
Sunday, June 13, 2010. 2009 Albino Rocca Moscato d’Asti. I occasionally make hay about how much I dislike too much sweetness in my wines. Really, it’s just the overbearing. Sweetness you might get from a cheap merlot that tastes like cherry candy or something like that. Unwelcome sweetness, sweetness without context. The Muscat grape may be the oldest grape variety to be domesticated, and there is evidence that wine from Muscat grapes may have been served at King Midas’s funeral feast. Heaven. The wi...

Monday, April 26, 2010. 2005 Weingut August Ziegler Gimmeldinger Biengarten Riesling Auslese. In 2007, I took a trip. With a couple friends to France. Among the regions we visited was Sauternes, home of the intensely complex, sweet golden wines that bear its name. They’re pretty amazing, but not something to kick back and suck down. They demand to be studied with your full attention, and I still end up feeling like I’m out of my depth. And it was sweet,. Sunday, April 25, 2010. To our surprise, it was fa...

Such Grape Heights: October 2009
http://suchgrapeheights.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 31, 2009. Carménère: The Zombie Wine. In the 1860s, a phylloxera plague washed across the vineyards of Europe. Phylloxerae are aphids with a taste for the finer things, and they descend on a vineyard like it's their personal wine tasting. France was particularly devastated, and the six noble red grapes. Of Bordeaux suffered. Particularly the beautiful, crimson carménère grape. When the dust settled, carménère … was extinct. A Chilean wine that cannot die. Friday, October 16, 2009. You t...

Thursday, December 24, 2009. Dievole Chianti Classico Dieulele Riserva 2001. I went to Italy in the summer of 2006. While there, my friends and I hit a wine museum in Siena, where I bought my dad a bottle that was personally recommended by the guy behind the counter. I wrote about the trip in detail here. The bottle was a 2001 Dievole Chianti Classico, the “Dieulele Riserva.” It’s a beautiful bottle. I gave it to Dad for Father’s Day. 8226; • •. So Jen and I began creating. Jen made some bruschetta….
