10/13/05 請問有人有興趣參與Online (Tasting) 品酒會的活動嗎?

好幾次看著各位大佬前輩辦的品酒會, 只能羨慕無緣參與.
在經過上個禮拜搜尋了好久的google.
不經意的找到一票人嘗試著在籌畫一個月一次的Online Tasting.
因為大家彼此都住的非常遙遠, 唯一有機會能夠分享每一個人的經驗
對來自同一個產區, 同一個種類, 不同的酒莊, 不同的年份, 不同
的成熟度(從kabinett, spatlese, 到auslese) 的酒, 就是透過
類似Online Tasting的方法, 來交流感受一下不同的體驗.
下面是這票人把這個月要品嚐的酒所定的方向, 我把內容整理了一下,
請各位有興趣的wine lover參考參考:

本月封面故事:
Background Story:

THE MISUNDERSTOOD GREAT: German riesling, specifically
those that come from the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region,
which is known to be one of the few vinicultural
erogenous zones on earth. Not only you will be tasting
pure terroir, but you will also be tasting deep tradition and history.

THE NOBLE & NEWLY REBORN: Hungary. Tokaj, to be exact.
This is the area that once used to produce “Vinum regum
rex vinorum” (the wine of kings, the king of wines), and
then temporarily interrupted (1944-1989) by the communist
regime, and now again produces exceptional noble sweet
wines, the Tokaj Aszu. The history behind the craft of
making this sweet noble wines is lengthy and predates
Germany as well as Sauternes

"十月份將品嚐來自德國Mosel-Saar-Ruwer產區的Riesling"
OCTOBER TASTING: Mosel-Saar-Ruwer’s Riesling
Thursday October 27, 2005

The more I think about how we should go about
experimenting with German rieslings, the more I realize
there is no one best approach. There are so many angles:
different ripeness levels (from Kabinett to TBA),
winemaking differences (more than one producers own
subplots of the same vineyard), vineyard differences
(terroir), and of course vintage difference. So let’s
keep it simple and stick to one method that combines
together horizontal and level tasting, or “horizon level”.


********************************************************


基本的找酒方向如下:(大致上兩瓶以上)
HOW IT GOES. The idea is to taste (at least) 2 wines of
different ripeness levels from one vintage, made by one
producer, from one vineyard. Because this is not a dessert
wine tasting, let’s limit ourselves to these three levels
(from less ripe to more ripe): kabinett, spatlese, and
auslese.


********************************************************


遊戲規則:
5 BASIC RULES that I’d like to impose in order to limit incoherence in our postings:
1. Still Riesling (no sparkling Sekt) from Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
2. Within these 3 ripeness levels only: Kabinett, Spatlese and Auslese
3. One producer (I will post a list of reliable producers later)
4. One vintage (try to avoid 2000…bad year), and
5. One vineyard

對於一次只想品嚐一瓶的wine lovers, 就盡力即可, 但可別忘了Share
一下品嚐的體驗喔!!
NOT ONLY THAT…! Now, those of us who would like to enjoy
just a bottle of riesling for good fun certainly shouldn’t
feel left out! Just follow the basic rules above and
let’s exchange notes!!! All in good fun and learning!
