2008 Geil Scheurebe Kabinett Rheinhessen

by Oswaldo Costa » Wed Apr 28, 2010 8:43 am

2008 GEIL SCHEUREBE KABINETT RHEINHESSEN 9.5%

LAST NIGHT I OPENED A BOTTLE OF GEIL
AFTER RUNNING A VERY FAST MILE
SCHEUREBE IS SUCH A CUTE GRAPE
THAT TORRONTÈS & VIOGNIER SHOULD APE

HAVING FOUND THE 07
THE BACKYARD OF HEAVEN
I WAS HOPING 08
MIGHT TURN OUT AS GREAT

NASAL PEACHES AND CREAM
LACED WITH LIGHT NECTARINE
MEET MY NOSTRILS IN FLIGHT
WITH NO PETROL IN SIGHT

BUCAL BITING ACIDITY
FIZZED WITH BUBBLY ACTIVITY
GENTLE ORANGE RIND BITTERNESS
MATCHED BY GOBS OF FRUIT, AS G** IS MY WITNESS

Remember that you should only drink Scheurebe on "cat pee" days accordng to the biodynamic calendar. :wink:

I definitely dug it, I'd say as much as the 07, but it was a flower day, so anything was bound to taste good! :lol:

Correction: I looked more carefully and it was a root day, so the fact that it tasted great is one more small nail in the small coffin of the BD calendar...

And what prompted the switch to verse?
I had to look up "bucal" but at least now I know I've been mispronouncing Geil.
thanks, fun note

The wish to be more terse! Too prolix lately...

I liked the verse (and it is National Poetry Month--or is that only in USA?) and I like Scheurebe but haven't had Geil's.

aesthetically typing, i find verse not in all caps more pleasing . . .

but this is a mode of communication well worth exploring.

I did a book review on amazon.com in verse one time--on Thomas Cahill's "How the Irish Saved Civilization."
