Wine thread - what are you enjoying?

Forge acquitted itself well, won some coverts for sure and at least one save in google maps that I noticed.

The Weil was the consensus wine of the night, I think. Lauer was also excellent, only slightly outdone by the Weil. BA Dr. Loosen was in a league of its own, just totally different from the others. So, hard to say where it fell - just so stylistically different at this stage.

Overall a really fun combination of wines.

There was talk of doing Paolo Bea next time. I hope that happens soon!

Always keen to try new grapes - this is made from a variety which is indigenous to Romania. A little like Viognier - if you like aromatic wines it’s super

LOVE Romanian wines. I’ve been trying to get someone in Finger Lakes to try planting Feteasca Neagra, which I think will do great here.

It’s delicious - the vineyards are in Transylvania !

I have a friend there who has promised to take me on a wine tour if I can make it over. Next year, I hope…

Very beautiful - the Transylvanian alps are great if you like hiking and Brown bears. I stayed in Brasov ..

The other grape it reminds me of is Torrontes
