Dr Loosen Graacher Himmelreich
As one of the major Mosel producers you shouldn’t have any problem at all sourcing this wine, readily available in many wine shops as well as supermarkets and down my local Sainsburys too.
Last night I went Mexican, and despite forgetting both the Salsa and the Guacamole managed to produce some very edible Fajitas! Spicy Mexican food and wine is always a tough combo but the Kabinett Riesling was not a bad match at all though probably more suited to shellfish and blue cheeses.
Actually, I went a bit crazy yesterday picking up a New Zealand Pinot Noir but more interestingly, Sainsburys BOB SO Organic Chianti (actually a Cecchi production) and will be interested to see what Cecchi are doing for Sainsburys for the £7 price tag. These notes will follow next week as will an interesting announcement about Wine90. Oooooooohhhhhh. *drumroll* Yes, there is a reason I’ve been a bit quiet lately, all will be revealed, be patient!
Dr Loosen Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett 2007 – BUY – £10
Sitting straw yellow in the glass the wine gives off generous amount of honeysuckle, pears and minerals. On the palate the wines initial attack is obvious fruit, continuation of pears (in syrup), creamy and fresh. Striking balance but shocking sweetness that had me check the label on two separate occasions. Easy drinking, simple finish, but lively and very enjoyable. 89 Points.

Fajitas and…………… ? Is this a time where a cold beer is required?
