What kind words, thanks. I was a truly magnificent trip with soo nice tastings. It would be fantastic to get back again, specially now with the dollar so much more favorable! But, with three small children traveling long distances is not so easy. However, if you would come near here, near Mosel/Luxembourg, please make contact as it would be great meeting again.
I do plan to post more tasting notes as I taste more wines for please now, I don't want to post notes of professional origin. I am tasting a lot of Mosel wines, that is I drink Mosel wines 3-4 times a week so look out for more notes on Mosel wines.
Rahsaan has a very good point. With blind tasting it is always easy to underestimate a great wine as they need time to show their true potential. My solution for that is to give it a long time. I drink it blind over a full evening, only then, I think, can I stand up for a valid judgment.
Blind tasting is a great test of humility both for the wine and for the taster.
