WTN: Mike Schmitt

2017 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Auslese 'Schmitt' - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (12/5/2020)
Crazy delicious Riesling that combines power and elegant structure. Tropical fruit to start, but more of an apple and lemon finish, this has significant sweetness, but finishes with a bright hit of acidity. Perfect foil for some homemade chicken biryani. Drink now and for the next fifty years.

This reminds me of the 1976 MLB All-Star game. The only person who was booed as loudly as Gerald Ford was Mike Schmidt, the Phillies only representative in the game as I recall. Since I was only 16 at the time no Riesling for me! Pardon the odd turn I took.

No worries.

Mike Schmidt and Steve Carlton were my favorite baseball players when I was a kid.

So they went back to listing Pradikat level on Schmitt? I think the ones I have leave it a mystery.

Yes. They only skipped it a few times.

I remember watching Mike play ball at Ohio U. when I was there in 1968. Knew he was going places.
