Carpe Vinum Friday Flights! Battle Riesling!
Greetings Friends!
Welcome to Battle Riesling! This Friday at Carpe Vinum 7 rieslings will go head to head! (Or, head to head to head to head to head to head to head, for redundancy’s sake).
I’m sure everyine has seen a riesling or two at any point that sells wine. It’s a fairly common varietal with a variety of different styles. The grape has its roots in Germany, but is grown worldwide. I have personally found that it is the most widely consumed wine for introducing beer drinkers to the world of wine. The wines I have selected provide a cross-section of regions and styles.
Featuring:
O’Reiley’s 2002 Riesling, Oregon/Washington
Elk Cove 2001 2001 Riesling, Oregon
Keuntz Bas 2000 Riesling Tradition, Alsace, France
J.L. Wolf 1997 Riesling Spatlese, Pfalz Germany
J.L. Wolf 1999 Riesling, Pfalz Germany
And the Extra 2 :
Elk Cove 2002 Late Harvest Riesling, Oregon (Sweet)
Riechsgraf Von Kesselstatt 1999 Dry Riesling Sekt, Mosel Saar Ruwer, Germany (Sparkling)
As always, the price of the first flight of 5 is $10, but considering the lower price of rieslings, the extra 2 will be only $4 instead of the usual $6.
Tasting begins at 4:30 and runs until about 9:00.
The address is 4831 SE Division.
Other wines are also available by the glass. . .AND we still have a game of Scrabble here.
What better way to spend your Friday night!
Hope to see you here!
Seize the Wine!

Next week: Pinot Gris!
