A WOMAN'S CHOICE
ABORTION'
dessert wines in the world, come af
ter the grapes have started to dry on
the vine. They are called Trocken-
berren auslese, and are crushed one
by one by hand.
Along the Mosel River, with its
tributaries Saar and Ruwer, the soil
contains a great deal o f slate and
limestone making the wines a little
drier and more delicate than those
from the Rhein. Most o f the better
vineyards are planted on very steep
hills. The grapes and workers have
to really struggle. Here the towns
whose vineyards to buy are: (the
Mosel) Piesport, Graach, Wehlen,
Urzig at -t Zeltingcn. Specifically on
<
I cannot think o f ont^grape that
produces so many types o f high
quality white table wines around the
• world. It ranges from a very sweet
and luscious dessert wine to a quite
dry and tart wine to compliment
most seafood dishes. First and fore
most when discussing Rieslings, are,
the vineyards along the upper Rhein
and Mosel rivers.
The Rhein is divided into three
parts: Rheingau, Rheinpfalz, and
Rheinhessen. I will only discuss the
firs t and most im p o rta n t, the
Rheingua. In the Rheingua, (as in
most o f Germany) they grow only
the Reisling Grape in all the best
sites along the river. Most o f these
wines are fermented fast, and are
usually sold a little over a year after
their vintage. These wines are soft,
flowery and fruity. They are meant
to be d runk young and in large
quantities.
When looking to buy wines from
this region, look for vineyards from
the towns o f Erbach, E ltv ille ,
J o h a n n is b e r g , H a tte n h e im ,
Rudesheim, and for a few dollars
more, the town o f Rauenthal, which
is located set back from the river
overlooking the rest o f the
Rheingau. These hills receive only
southern exposure. I feel that these
are the best o f the best.
You may also find that there are
single vineyards in Germany that
carry th e ir own name, usually
preceded by “ Schloss” meaning
castle or chateau. These are
naturally highly prized wines from a
good or great vintage. To name the
most important: Schloss Vollrads,
Schloss Johannisberger, and Stein-
berger vineyards should be noted.
When purchasing all German wines,
unless you enjoy a sweet and fruity
wine, buy Kabinett and Spatlese
wines. These are usually harvested
before the “ noble rot” has infected
the vines. On the contrary, some of
the rarest and most highly prized

the Saar are the towns o f Ayl, Ock-
fen, Serrig and Wiltingen. There is
one vineyard located in the town of
Ockfen called Scharzhofberger,
owned mostly by the Egon Mueller
family. It rates consistently with the
best, and is this author’s personal
favorite. Also of note are two towns
on the Ruwer River, they are:
Maximin and Eitelsbach. These are
even drier than other Mosel wines.
There is one place in Europe
where the Riesling is king; Alsace,
“ the French Rhein.” One hears o f
the T raim er grape wines called
Gewurz (spice) Traim er, but here
agin, in the best sites the Reisling is
planted. These are a little drier and
fuller bodied wines than the Ger
mans. They are made with some o f
the same techniques as in Burgundy.

In C a lifo rn ia we are lucky
because both styles are produced.
The Germans and Alsatian styles.
Wines to look fo r when buying
German styled C alifornia Reisling
are: Josheph Phelps, Felton Empire
Chateau St. Jean, G rgich H ills ,
Robert M ondavi, and Chateau
M ontelena. Note: ( A ll these
C alifornia wines have a couple of
percent more alcohol than their
German counterparts.) To fin d
drier Alsatian Reislings, look for
Chappellet, Trefethen, Freemark
Abbey, Heitz Cellars, Stags Leap
Wine Cellars and Z.D. Winery.
The most remarkable Reislings to
come out o f California, have been
the late harvest styled wines. In the
northern counties o f California the
“ noble r o t” also makes itse lf
present. Some trucly great wines
have been produced from Freemark
BONELESS TOP SIRLOIN
Abbey, Joseph Phelps, Chateau St.
Jean, Raymond Vineyards, Burgess
Cellars and even Wente Brothers a
few years back.
Before I close, I must not forget
the Reislings from the great north
west. In Washington State, Preston
Vineyards, Ste. M ichelle and
Associated Vinters make some good
Reislings. From southern Oregon,
Hillcrest and Bjelland; around the
Dundee area, Erath, Sokol Blosser
and Rueters H ill. Also Ponzi from
the Beaverton area produces a good
wine. Not ending here, the tiny town
o f Emmit, Idaho boasts one major
northwest winery called Ste. Chap-
pelle, that make tw o very good
wines.
This is the time o f year to drink
these wines, in large quantities, with
good friends and most o f all, trust a
good wine merchant.

Iron. Try a Stack-the-Deck Kraut-
wich on hearty pumper-nickel or a
Kraut Long John on Italian bread.
