So last weekend my blog turned 5 ! And actually I wouldn’t even have realized it, didn’t I flip through my archives last week way back to the first post. Anyway, so I was in Berlin for the weekend doing some sight-seeing in our lovely capital and stopped by for a quick hello at Martin’s Berlin Riesling Cup 2010 event which was just going on.
And what luck, I just arrived at the right time participating for 2 flights that contained the top 3 wines of the evening! Happy Birthday to me I thought when I left, and thanks of course to Martin who’s probably the most relaxed wine lover I know.

Das ist nun die vorletzte Flasche vom 06er Sauvignon vom Markus Schneider aus Ellerstadt. Ab in den Dekanter damit (mit 2 Kühlaggregaten drunter = mein Patent!). Anfangs wirkt er überreif, kernig und unangenehm bitter auch im Finish. Nebenbei zeigt er für meine Begriffe gar keine Sauvignon Typizität mehr außer einer sehr präsenten Säure.
