John Sarich, Hamid (the color at Ste. Michelle and wonderful host), and I threw back a quite a few glasses of this gorgeous wine. So good, in fact, that it is a finalist in the Sunset Western Wine Awards ~ ceremony to be held during the “Savor the Central Coast” four-day culinary event at the end of September. I wonder if Hamid will bring a sleeping bag…
On this week’s radio prgram, Chef John Sarich, culinary director of Chateau Ste. Michelle, shares the perfect match for his Asian Crab-Noodle Soup: The 2009 Eroica Reisling. The flavor profile of this Reisling is summed up by winemaker Bob Bertheau:” src=”sites/all/modules/wysiwyg/plugins/break/images/spacer.gif” alt=”<--break->” />
“This Riesling exudes mandarin orange and sweet lime aromas and flavors with subtle mineral notes. The mouth-watering acidity is beautifully balanced by flavorful Washington Riesling fruit. After a decade we have truly found our ‘Eroica style,’ striving for beautiful bright fruit with crisp acidity and enhanced minerality.”
