1985 Berncasteler Doctor Riesling
5/12/16- The
brown bag wine sampled at the Thursday wine tasting at the Folsom Lakeforest
wine store was an elegant German Riesling from the famous Doctor vineyard. The Bernkasteler
Doctor is only 8.1 acres in
size but its place in the wine world is legendarily grand. In the 13th
century, the Archbishop of Trier was in this area of the Mosel Valley when he
became deathly ill. After countless cures didn’t work, he was poured
Riesling from a humble flask from this vineyard and was cured. From then
on, it became known as “The Doctor”. Today, it is the most expensive
agricultural land in all of Germany.

1979 Cache’ Cellars Pinot Noir

How does he do it? Maybe it is
