2007 Gerard Schueller Vin De Table


Man, I love this wine. I have been a fan of Schueller's for many years. His Gewurztraminer,Pinot Blanc, and Rieslings have been favorites of mine for many years, however the past few vintages have not been to my liking - both single vineyard varietals and his blends.

This table wine though, hits the mark.

100% Pinot Blanc, and imported by the fountainhead, Mark couldn't stop gushing about this reasonably priced wine. I bought a few bottles and have cracked them here and there.

On the nose, floral without being overbearing, with hints of white pepper. Light and crisp, on the palate with a nice viscosity, and a touch of sweetness are the first impressions. Big grip on the tongue, with slight tannins, adding to a complex mid-palate, and a touch of minerality.

A must buy for the end of the summer that will last a few years. Will be great in the cold weather with a cheesy fondue. I would love to get it for BONDA.
