| “A
German wine of quality depends on a sweet-sharp balance
sensation so finely in balance that neither part dominates.
Such a wine provokes and soothes simultaneously, suggesting
a universe of tastes and smells but presenting only
one." - Gerald Asher, On Wine
Gerald Asher has captured the essence of what makes
Germany so appealing for the wine drinker. Unfortunately
the plethora of sweet low quality wines that remain
popular in the U.S. have often brought Germany into
a category that is overlooked by the pseudo sophisticate.
Puzzled? Why is residual sugar bad? Those of us who
know the beautiful complexity of Riesling and the
food compatibility of German wines often take up the
mission to convert the un-believer. Fortunately, we
are well armed. Bringing the wines of Ernie Loosen
to our cause makes this quick and simple work for
they are finely and carefully crafted from some of
the best soils Germany has to offer.
