Schmitt Söhne Bereich Bingen Auslese 1990
Now, here's a wine with some history. Margaret Anne bought a half-case of this Schmitt Söhne Bereich Bingen Auslese 1990 in Toronto, probably around 1993, after tasting some at a German Wine Society event in Regina (where it wasn't readily available) shortly after she joined the organization--and well before we had started dating. (Probably, in fact, before Ed had even started drinking wine.) She still has a couple of bottles in the cellar at her mother's house.
The wine is a beautiful golden color, but wasn't as sweet as we anticipated. Has it faded over the years? We don't think so, but it's hard to be certain. Still, an excellent wine and it made a fine opening impression for our Good Friday dinner party.
