WTN: 2007 Wiemer Riesling Dry (Finger Lakes)

[David M. Bueker]

2007 Hermann J. Wiemer Riesling Dry - USA, New York, Finger Lakes (5/29/2016)
Someone has a very loose definition of dry, as this is anything but. Still it's a tasty wine, with plenty of apple and peach fruit. There is a bit of developed creaminess, and even the beginnings of a nutty, oxidative element that is light enough to add complexity, rather than obscure the other virtues of the wine. Very good stuff, just don't call it dry. (From 1.5L)

I was in Calgary after doing my Milk River Count. No sign of N Y wines anywhere..but Selbach Oster in my bag .

Yes, I've run into Wiemer's loose definition of "dry" before. Depending on vintage, seems to range from what I'd call halbtrocken/feinherb Kab to full-blown Spatlese sweetness. Never had one that was dry in a Trimbach or GG sense. Good for you for cellaring.
