Alcoholic frolic
Just spent the weekend at the Alcoholic frolic in Ruthergen and i must say you all missed something special.
I went to Bullers and got to try and Buy their RARE LIQUEUR TOKAY and CALLIOPE RARE LIQUEUR MUSCAT both have been given a 100/100 from Robert Parker and Me. For those of you that do not have the chance to go to Rutherglen i am truly sorry it is one of those places on Earth that God did his number Twos and made the ground holy.
Warrabilla owned by Andrew Sutherland Smith is the place that it all comes together for those of you who do not know Warrabilla is a punch in the head wine.
Where as Europe work on fine tollerances this wine is a true reflection of Australia.
In your face. the Parolas durif runs at about 18% and shows what real men are made of.

Being Canadian, I have a real liking for Ice wine, and as a youth I picked grapes for Ice Wine, and I tell you that is one crappy, but well paying jog
Up on the hillside well before dawn, pick until the sun comes over the mountains. I'm from Kelowna BC, one of the first, if not the first area in Canada that made ice wine, the Okanagan Valley. We make Ice wine there nearly every year, as it ALWAYS goes well below freezing, in Germany, the conditions are right only about once every ten years.
I have two bottles of Eitelsbacher Karthauserhofberg Riesling Eiswein 750 ml 1995 vintage, that are just stunning, they have a VERY long life in front of them, I'd say at least another 20+ years.
Talking about the Noble Rot wine, I have lots and lots of those, some of the more spectacular ones are the Ch L' Extravagant Doisy Daene 1990, 1996, 1997
These my grandkids will drink
I also have a large collection of Alois Kracher Noble rot wines, simply unreal, LOVE this stuff, which, if you look at my waist line, is obvious
Cheers!
(disclaimer, I do this for a living, as well as enjoying good wine, but I'm not trying to sell nothing to anyone here!)It's a Family thing.....
