Messmer, Pfalz, Muschelkalk Riesling, Kabinett Feinherb, 2007

messmer_webThe name borders on the ridiculous, but don’t let that stop you. Pfalz is a region known for steely, brisk wines, with intense citrus and mineral flavors wound tight around a bright pillar of acidity. The Messmer adds a beautiful density and the alluring edge of baked apple and ripe pear to the mix. Texturally, the wine is a great match for the triple crème, and all that acidity cuts through the fat in the cheese to reveal tangy hazelnut and mushroom flavors. This wine is a total steal – packing more value per drop than you could imagine.

$17.50/Bottle
