We all enjoy a Barbecue...that is...when we don't have to Barbecue!
Better to be a Guest than a Host!
Therefore...an invit from Daughter Number 1 to celebrate her birthday...and off we went to Wiesbaden on a warm summer evening.

Kamptal, Austria
I do like the Chardonnays from Austria.
The growers there seem to balance the creamy
fruit with rippling minerals..
This has a touch of exotic fruit...soft
toast...glossy...banana....just a delight to drink.

Cherries...sour cherries...giving it a thirst-quenching
feel...and just about right for a Barbecue. Tannins are
relatively supple...and the soft earthy taste of Pinot will
also benefit from a year or two in the cellar.

Schubert Marion's Vineyard
Pinot Noir 2009
Wairapapa, New Zealand
The name gives away the information...
a German winemaker producing competition for his
homeland.Black fruit...with blcky toasty tannins, Very
good balance...and the ripe fruit developed with a few
swirls and the cool evening air. Sweet at times...but
that it what gets us Pinot freaks...why would we want
austerity when we can get soft juicy thrills here.
