Dessert Wine Notes: Brown Brothers Patricia Noble Riesling Reserve 2000

The Brown Brothers Patricia Noble Riesling is a botrytized, late harvest wine from Milawa in Victoria, Australia. The ultra-ripe Riesling grapes give it a deep rich gold color with a smooth and luscious body. The aroma is full of fresh and preserved apricots and peaches. The taste has a great balance of acidity to sweetness, full of flavors including plum, buttery toffee, vanilla, and candied citrus, with a strong botrytis character. It is rich, and smooth with a long, sweet/tart finish. This is a mighty tasty sticky (Aussie for sweet dessert wine) that isn't too sweet and has good acidity leaving you wanting just another sip, and another.

The Brown Brothers Patricia Noble Riesling's have won numerous awards and medals over the past few years. The 2000 vintage is no exception, with a whole slew including the 2002 Gold Canberra Wine Show, 2002 Gold Sydney Wine Show, 2002 Gold Hobart Wine Show, and the Willmes Trophy Canberra 2002 for Best Sweet Table Wine. It retails for around $18-25US.

Ed Levine's Top 10 Manhattan Fancypants burgers

Ed Levine recently posted a list of his top 10 fancypants burgers in Manhattan on his blog. Cafe D'Alsace took top honors for its burger, which features onions doused in Riesling and French Muenster cheese. Other notable entries include The Spotted Pig, whose roquefort-laced patty landed the No. 3 spot and Nice Matin's five-napkin burger, which took fifth place.

But just what is a a fancypants burger anway? I'm glad you asked. Levine has devised a whole list of criteria, including costing more than ten dollars and less than 20, being sided with excellent french fries, being served by a waiter in a white tablecloth setting and being made from fresh high-quality ingredients.

I can't wait to work my way through his Top 10. Time to renew my scrip for Lipitor.

Cooking with Riesling - Riesling Onion Soup

riesling onion soupWe at Slashfood love our French Onion Soup.

To be quite honest, I would be okay without the soup and just eating the crouton topped with the melted, bubbling, gurgling, broiled cheese, but then, all my guests would wonder why their soups were naked.

I tweaked a recipe for an onion soup that’s like a French onion soup, but has a broth base made with a lot of white wine and (specifically, Riesling) and chicken rather than beef stock. It was my first time ever making an onion soup, and though it was different from a regular brown French Onion Soup, it tasted pretty good. Then again, the extra Riesling I drank while the onions were sweating might have made me a more generous critic than normal.
