Best food(s) with Riesling??

Joel, No! But I do tend to think more in terms of denser wines e.g. Sauternes and the like rather than Rieslings with foie gras. Just mostly by habit, I guess!

You guys are crazy. Everyone knows you drink old Vouvray moelleux with foie gras.

I think the most interesting match I ever found for foie gras was 1989 zind-humbrecht R clos hauserer VT

Best match I've ever had with seared foie gras was 2001 Kurt Darting Durkheimer Nonnenberg Rieslaner Auslese.

Well, if I had old Vouvray moelleux, then I could learn something, it seems.

Really really really good. Beautiful color and nose, nice balance of extract and acidity. Albert was going to bogart it home, but somehow nothing was left but the empty bottle.

There was a 2001 Prum Auslese as well, but it was camera shy.

interesting...I didn't hold much hope on those bottles. I'll have to see if I can find them.
