I bought this wine because “Katz” is Mike’s name, not knowing absolutely anything about it, not even what kind it was. I wasn’t planning on drinking it tonight, but I realized at a late hour that the recipe I was making called for white wine, and I had this one already chilling. Alas, only later I found out that many Qualitatswein are late harvest wines, more fit to be served as dessert than with a meal. Indeed, my first thought when I started sipping it is that this would make a good dessert wine.
\nThe bottle does not indicate what type of Qualitatswein but it’s not terribly sweet. Or rather, I thought it was very sweet when I opened it, but it mellowed out after dinner. It’s very floral, with strong fruit overtones – peaches and apricots – and a very smooth finish. It’s pretty good as an after dinner drink and I’d have it again.
\nMike, OTOH, thought it almost tasted like a Chardonnay and he did not think it tasted like a dessert wine at all. Granted it was considerably less sweet that the majority of these. He thought it was easy drinking, and not that sweet.
\nI bought it at TJ’s, and I *think* I paid $7-8 for the bottle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
