+ 1 German Pinot
Georg Breuer Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), 2004 ($20) - imported by Classical Wines. Surprise! An excellent quality red wine from Germany's Rheingau region. In a region - nee a country - known for racy Riesling, good old Georg puts his teutonic touch on Burgundy's grape. And the result is one of the zestiest white-wine-in-red-wine-clothing you'll ever taste. This Pinot is damn near coral in color - more a dark rose than a red wine. It offers up scents of just-ripe strawberry, tart cherry and woody spice. In the mouth, Breuer's Spätburgunder possesses nearly invisible tannins; making for a sheer, silky mouthfeel. It imparts flavors of red raspberry and cherry, followed by a delicate finish. This wine is definitely for the fragile wine lover. Don't clobber it with food. Try Breuer's Pinot with roasted chicken, fresh goat cheese or sashimi.
