wine of the night: 2009 Muller-Catoir Riesling

Inspired by Terroir's Summer of Riesling (a great wine bar in the city that likes to celebrate riesling during the summer), I decided to drink a trocken (trocken = dry) riesling tonight. Riesling is so perfect for summer, and there are so many types of rieslings with varying dryness, complexities, and flavors ranging from apricot to burnt caramel to stones. Unfortunately, I picked a dud with a cool label. This riesling is dry with nice mineral notes, but the finish is so short that you will forget what you are drinking after one sip. Seriously, I expect more from a $25 bottle.


However, the salad I made was absolutely DE-LISH!! Shaved brussel sprouts, parmesan cheese, toasted walnuts, and a touch of lime juice and grape seed oil. Combine and enjoy!
