Bill and I discuss our visit to Ledson Winery in Sonoma Valley and lament the loss of the casual drive up tasting we were able to enjoy before Covid changed our world.Ĭlimate change is wreaking havoc everywhere.
Terri and I finally ventured out and went wine tasting for the first time since the start of the Covid pandemic. A quick look on will yield hundred of job offers. Right now is one of the best times to be looking for a job in the California wine industry. Michelle are some of the most recent buyouts. Most of the mergers and acquisitions are followed weeks later by layoffs and closures of production facilities. wine industry continues at an unabated pace. A lovely way to welcome in the summer this sublime Riesling would pair well with a variety of fried foods, charcuterie boards, vegetables and sushi. Lovely baking spice, honeyed peaches complexity on the palate, with fresh bright acidity balancing out the light sweetness. This fruity off dry version of a 100% Riesling is grown on vertiginous, brick colored, cliff-like hills that tower over the village of Urzig which sits on the left bank of the Mosel river.Ī light yellow color with a tinge of green this Riesling has a lovely green apple, lime, lees and jasmine blossom nose. The Mönchhof is said to be one of the oldest wine estates in the West German Mosel Valley dating back to 1177. Our wine recommendation for this week is the Mönchhof Ürzig Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett. It’s summertime so we find ourselves drinking less red wine and more rosé and white wines. On this podcast you can find out where we’ve been, what’s new in wine country and what we’ve been drinking and eating. Bill and I get together for a new podcast after an extended absence.
