So we started with the Sperss 1989 which was delicate with a very long finish. This is not typical in New York and possibly other countries, but this is Mr. Gaia speaking and he spoke with such incredible passion it was mesmerizing. Fabulous vertical of sperss today at  Vinexpo. That is why Sperss means nostalgia.

Here's the thing - we crammed into several cars and drove from NYC where the snow was in gray and black piles against the parked cars, to the hilly horse farm country of mid-state New York. This past weekend I participated in one of the greatest wine events of my life. This was not a business lunch. The wines were very special.

The famous 21 Club in New York sold more sweet Riesling than dry wines back in the early years of the 20th century. And New York?

Everything else is in place for greatness- brilliant terroir, old vines and a great tradition, but these have to be synthesized into the unfortunate new realities of global warming, and in my experience, the Austrians have still not made that leap. new, small oak barrels. German Riesling. And I really don’t understand why. The Loire.

grew up here and I understand its appeal, but New York City makes me crazy sometimes. We decided on the dishes we would order and Deetrane very wisely selected the 1989 López de Heredia Rioja Reserva Viña Tondonia , the regal white wine from probably the last traditional producer in Rioja.
