Wine: Bender Bissersheimer Held 2002 Riesling Eiswein



Review: Ted at Crooked Timber posted a recipe for Chocolate-Raspberry Gratin on Friday. I had this dessert wine that I have been wanting to try for a while and I had a friend coming over for dessert, so even though it wasn't February 25th, I figured I would give it a try.

This is an edelsuss (noble sweet) wine, it is rich and sweet with a golden color and almost no tannin taste. It was an excellent complement to the chocolate in the gratin, without being so sweet as to take away from the Rasberries. Overall, an excellent wine and an excellent pairing.

Price: $40

Grade: 95
