Many thanks to the those bohemian wine fanatics at Blackheart & Sparrow’s for raising some much needed dough, with a little help from Heart & Soil, for North Melbourne’s super-duper Lort Smith Animal Hospital. The premise was simple enough; for every bottle of J.J Christoffel Urziger Wurzarten Riesling Trocken sold to their punters, Heart & Soil and Blackhearts would donate two bucks to the good fellows at Lort Smith. The wine sold well and we wrote a cheque in three figures (which, at the very least, is better than a poke in the eye with a shitty stick). Thanks to Paul & the team @ Blackhearts.
And now, as if by magic, a bit more shameless self promotion:
Joh. Jos. Christoffel Erben Ürziger Würzgarten Trocken Riesling, 2007, Mosel Valley (Germany). Sold Out
“The Ürziger Würzgarten (or spice-garden) is one of Germany’s most famous vineyards. Its wines are fine and minerally, with a thrilling struck-flint aroma and chalky palate. There are floral and baked-apple aromas, too. In the mouth, it’s dry and nervy, and really grows on you as you sip. It’s a properly ripe trocken style, with relatively high (13 per cent) alcohol. A great fish wine, to drink over the next five or six years. Screw-capped.” Huon Hooke, Gourmet Traveller Wine, Feb/March 2010.
