I realized this was his entry level, but we even stock a few of his better products, so I might go and try those as well.

I buy more than enough Riesling to pick up the slack for both of you.<BR/><BR/>In a province with limited German Riesling availability, count yourself particularly luck to have found anything from Keller on the shelves. His wines are not at all widely distributed. This is his simplest wine, aside from the basic stuff used only at home, which accounts for your findings of relative simplicity.<BR/><BR/>It may be old news to you, but if you're interested in more info about Keller, you could check out my write-up of <A HREF="http://mcduffwine.blogspot.com/2007/09/weingut-keller-shining-star-in.html" REL="nofollow">a visit with him in February 2004</A>.David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27657184.post-79041878294116795022008-02-12T22:17:00.000-05:002008-02-12T22:17:00.000-05:00Hi Neil - good catch.

Two comments (1) I give points for balance and complexity - the balance was there, but just a bit shy on the complexity - I would say 17 equates to a 90 in that other scoring system, so not a bad showing (2) I try to be "price independent" in my scoring, but not in my notes. At this price I think it was a great Riesling - the Alsace Riesling I tasted <A HREF="http://joeswine.blogspot.com/2007/09/world-of-great-whites.html" REL="nofollow">here </A> was 18pts, but much more expensive - what I meant is the world needs more great Riesling at a reasonable price! <BR/><BR/>Hi Sonadora - agreed, I need to drink more as well, but like you I rarely buy Riesling for some inexplicable reason!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07747056255576335926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27657184.post-55371554503399256422008-02-12T19:30:00.000-05:002008-02-12T19:30:00.000-05:00I really need to drink more riesling.

Perhaps I'll get on a Riesling kick instead of a Sauvignon Blanc kick this spring/summer!Sonadorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01267916648440750132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27657184.post-30612560348398347822008-02-12T16:44:00.000-05:002008-02-12T16:44:00.000-05:00pretty high compliments for a wine that scores 16....pretty high compliments for a wine that scores 16.5 on the joe scale.Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.com
