FareShare Recipes: Hallie's Wine Suggestions


February 2006	Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc, 2005, New Zealand. OK but not much bang for the buck, we weren't impressed. Can't remember the price though.
February 2006	Deinhard 2003 Piesporter Riesling from Germany We did like it very much. It was around the $10-$12 Canadian, as I recall.
February 2006	Gato Negro Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile; 2005. Utter rot!
February 2006	Terra Grande 2000 reserve. A red wine from Spain that was very rough. We've had much better Spanish reds but a lot of them can be a tad rough.
March 2006	Rudolf Muller (2 dots over the 'u'); 2003; Piesporter A very nice Riesling.
March 2006	Goldtropfchen Riesling Kabinett Had it with a chicken pot pie and it went very well
March 2006	Don Cayetano Cabernet Sauvignon. 2004. Chile. Vallee de Colchagua It wasn't bad at all.
July 2006	Dr. Zenzen German Rhine wine; 2003 Gau-Odernheimer Petersberg Spatlese A little sweet and very fruity but not too sweet - just nicely sweet. Approximately $12 Canadian.
July 2006	St. Urbans-Hof 2004 riesling, German. It was just under $12 Canadian; extremely yummy with chicken. Not too dry - a wee bit sweetish but not sweet - nice acidity to cut the chicken. Was also good with a pasta alfredo
August 2006	Dr. Zenzen Vino Noir; Dornfelder Rheinhessen; 2005 Qualitatswein; red wine. An acceptable moderately priced wine (+/-$12Canadian). Not one of the truly great reds but a nice one none the less and if I were looking for something for a group of "non-connoisseurs" for a dinner I wouldn't hesitate to serve it.
