Cheers It's Friday

And ~ doing a retake on Riesling. My wine merchant finally got the 2008 Trimbach Riesling, that  I was so eager for two weeks ago (darn snow storm).  Anyway, well worth the wait, because this is a DRY Riesling not your American OFF DRY Riesling.  Check out http://www.juicytannins.com/ for some great tasting notes on the Trimbach Estate wines including the 2008 Trimbach Riesling.

If you have skipped over Riesling in the past, because of a too sweet an experience, this Riesling will delight for its DRY style.  It was on my recent trip to Germany that I enjoyed some of the most memorable DRY Rieslings and am a fan on the look out for more Rieslings in the DRY style.

I've paired the Trimbach Riesling with a Curried Spaghetti-Squash- and-Chickpea Toast-( Food & Wine February 2011) not your traditional Old World Riesling pairing, but one that worked for me in the New World.  Cheers!!!
