Riesling flight @ Terroir NYC


Beautiful sunny day in NYC so I stopped in for a refreshing Riesling flight.

Tried three very different versions.

  1. Karl Lagler, Smaragd 2022

A Full bodied dry Riesling, . . Stone (peach, nectarine) and borderline tropical fruit, petrol, high acid, long finish. Really enjoyed this one.

  1. Vine Mind (Clare Valley)

Light bodied, green apple, lime, petrol, radish, high acid and lingering finish.

A hard transition from the the ripe Smaragd but appreciated it more with each sip.

  1. The Paul Anheuser Schlossböckelheimer Königsfels Riesling Kabinett

–

Wet stone meets stone fruit. High acid but masked by RS, and a tough follow after the ripping acid of Clare valley. It was another hard transition. I think I would like this wine more in it was on its own. I've certainly enjoyed Donhoff from the Nahe which this is also from.

My favorite was Lagler. My first time having Riesling from Wachau.

    Was at Terroir a couple weekends ago. What a great place with an incredible list. Definitely the place to go for Riesling lovers.

    Paul has the best Riesling collection in NYC. Super nice guy too. I’m looking forward to their Riesling boat cruise again this summer.

    Terroir is A-list. A+, all around, in every aspect. Very special to still have a spot like that in our city.

    We stopped in there with our families for a little apéro on our wedding day, after the ceremony, before heading to dinner, and Paul was just the sweetest, most accommodating person we could have possibly asked for.

    I’d like to remind everyone that international Riesling Day is March 13th.

    I know this because, as the years go by, celebrating that day because it’s International Riesling Day is easier than celebrating my birthday, lol.
