Valckenberg tasting at Trio with Missouri Beverage

A new german supplier for Missouri Beverage.. this supplier had been represented in the market by a smaller distributor who only carried only a few of their products.

Saarsten Pinot Blanc 2006 n and round and holding up for a few vintages old.

Undone Riesling a cute label but the riesling doesnt really deliver

Undone Pinot Noir.. germany is thelargest european producer of Pinot Noir...the cool climate helps keep the grape from getting over ripe... the undone is pretty in the nose and has some grip to it...

JJ Prum Gracher Spatlese.. prettiest wine of the evefning.. and most expensive...

Maxim ...didnt right enough to know.. but it had a LOT of petrol...i was told a byproduct of the mosel.. but have had other mosel no were near that. this was almost on the scale of Alsace.

Valckenberg Dornfelder.. the german answer to Beaujolais... if they needed an answer... a little sweet.. aromas of tin and banana... not quite ripe...

I have really enjoyed the dornfelder for quite some time. I like combination of dry and sweet. I taste a hint of plums. Please keep it in stock. I buy this wine regularly and did not know that you offered it.
