But I just got back to NYC and have a bottle of the Elenora open tonight, and it is just absolutely glorious. Beautiful stuff. If this is not flying off the shelves, it is a crime against taste.

It's a long time to have continuity on a wine this small production and so interesting. t first it was all fruit and tang. Three to six months ago it was all ruwer earth and dark orchard fruits as Neil says. Now I need yo see where it is again. It's great wine and it will be around for a while I hope.<BR/><BR/>And what Lars says rings true. Not much demand for sekt in the US. They drink it all over Germany. It's still a great value.Lyle Fasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691042953720294290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-25302882728980102492008-10-05T13:00:00.000-04:002008-10-05T13:00:00.000-04:00Alright, I'll start working on Lyle and have my fi...Alright, I'll start working on Lyle and have my fingers crossed about the dollar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-21217026228166810712008-10-05T12:50:00.000-04:002008-10-05T12:50:00.000-04:00Cliff: OK, I'm biased, but I like Stein-Wein, too....Cliff: OK, I'm biased, but I like Stein-Wein, too. In regard to his Sekt, it would be more expensive than von Nell's, because we discounted the von Nell for close-out and purchased it with a stronger dollar back in early '07. Perhaps, Ulli Stein will bring a bottle to the Polaner tasting this spring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-48003817931641666492008-10-05T12:26:00.000-04:002008-10-05T12:26:00.000-04:00I have loved the wines from Weingut Stein that I h...I have loved the wines from Weingut Stein that I have tried. Are you bringing in the Sekt (I haven't seen it)? It would be wonderful to have a reliable source of affordable sparkling wines that develop in the cellar.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>CliffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-75929280634274328612008-10-05T02:28:00.000-04:002008-10-05T02:28:00.000-04:00Thanks for the write-up and the comments.

Both von Nell Sekts should be drunk in the coming years. My favorite is a 1999 Riesling brut from Weingut Stein. Ulrich Stein did a long lees contact, a late disgorgement, and a subtle dosage with Eiswein.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-77337728585446199472008-10-04T14:15:00.000-04:002008-10-04T14:15:00.000-04:00Lars, if you're looking, please hang in with this....Lars, if you're looking, please hang in with this. This sounds beautiful. I can't wait to try some. Make Lyle take some of the Elenora, too. Any guesstimate about how long these might develop?Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254237968195126520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-31566156281082700002008-10-03T18:20:00.000-04:002008-10-03T18:20:00.000-04:00Thanks for writing about this Neil.
