Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2017 Jacob~Heims Riesling Spätlese
Blazing red soils on an insanely steep vineyard. Pronounced nuances of exotic spices and mesmerizing earthiness. Bursting with tropical fruit flavors and pears. Old vines in a red volcanic soil with a high iron content makes this wine a pure delight. Give it a slight chill and enjoy with oysters, calamari grilled and dressed with olive oil and oregano and angel hair pasta lightly tossed with poached salmon pieces and pine nuts. A great match for Thai or Indian cuisine.
