March 2025
I’m gonna level with you: corporates’ been real down on my performance as of late, especially since the mustard incident. To make matters worse, I picked a Riesling for Wine of the Month, a varietal they claim doesn’t sell, but I believe is misunderstood. Doesn’t matter that this one is dry, exquisitely balanced and replete with crisp minerality; the perfect gateway Riesling: I’m on thin ice.
To hedge my bets I’ve paired this German Riesling with a lovely German Pinot Noir, which I find to be incredible values for the quality. The cold climate makes for an elegant style pinot, with fresh acidity and vibrant fruit. Both the Maximin and Villa Wolf pair wonderfully with Thai cuisine or anything with a little spice. I hope that sounds appealing to you, because my job is on the line. If we don’t sell out this month you’re gonna find me out on the curb, trading favors for $5 a pop. Which, you know, fine, change is good, more time to work on myself etc etc, but I’d rather you just start buying Rieslings. |
