I always try to maintain regular
store hours, but I wanted to let everyone know that The Wine Consultant
will be closed this Tuesday, June 3rd.
We have an Austrian trade tasting on Monday and a German trade tasting
on Tuesday to attend in San Francisco. Many of you have wine orders to
pickup and I know how unsettling it can be to make the effort only to
find out the store is closed. Normal store hours will resume on
Wednesday, June 4th when the store opens at 11 am.
Store Hours: Tuesday
through Friday - 11 am to 7 pm, Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm. Closed on
Sunday and Monday. THE TASTING BAR IS ALWAYS OPEN!

Also, with the hot weather coming
down the pike, I wanted to remind you of the year round
deal/arrangement The Wine Consultant has with Vintage Cellars in San Marcos, California.
Most of you know that TWC stopped selling wine cabinets, racking
systems and refrigeration units about 3 years ago. My focus remains on
fine wine! However, I encourage you to contact the professionals at
Vintage Cellars for all of your wine cellar needs! Vintage Cellars
only provides the highest quality product lines and will consult with
you on all of your wine cellar requirements. Vintage Cellars
advertises in most of the wine magazines that it guarantees lowest
pricing. As a BONUS, IF YOU MENTION AT THE TIME OF
PURCHASE THAT YOU WERE REFERRED BY THE WINE CONSULTANT,
YOU WILL RECEIVE A STORE CREDIT AT THE
WINE CONSULTANT FOR 10% OF YOUR PURCHASE VALUE!! www.vintagecellars.com

These German wines sold out
immediately two weeks ago.......I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED THIS
AFTERNOON WHEN ANOTHER CASE OF EACH ARRIVED AT THE BACKDOOR!!
GERMAN RIESLING!.......2001
GERMAN RIESLING!
For those of you who know, I thought that
might get your attention!! Described as the best
vintage since the legendary 1971, there has been a modern day gold rush
for the best of the 2001 vintage. These wines exemplify why
Riesling is considered the most serious white wine varietal in the
global market. Yesterday, I received my long awaited
allocation of Emerich Schonleber's 2001 Rieslings; three selections,
but regretfully only ONE case of each wine! Thus, I have no other
choice, but to offer them to you as a 3 bottle set.
- QbA Halbtrocken Nahe Monzinger - $14.50 NET
"Bright and juicy, offering pear, quince, citrus and mineral
aromas and flavors on a focused, balanced frame. Drink now through
2004. 600 cases produced." - WS 88. Perfect pairing last night with grilled
curried salmon fillet and pear chutney.
- Kabinett Nahe Monzinger
Fruhlingsplatzchen - $19.95 NET
"Dense and aromatic, this reeks of minerals, lime and red
fruits, very tightly wound and deeply rooted in the terroir. It builds
in intensity to a tremendous finish, with an aftertaste of herbs and
minerals. Best from 2004 through 2012. 420 cases produced." - WS 92
- Grilled bockwurst or pork tenderloin with spicy fruit infused mustard
sauce!
- Spatlese Nahe Monzinger
Halenberg - $29.95 NET
" A racy, mineral-drenched Riesling, more on the mineral side
than fruit, with peach and nectarine notes deeply embedded. Not that
expressive today, but persistent, structured and long on the finish.
Best from 2004 though 2012. 290 cases produced" - WS 91 - A brooding
"giant" of a wine, the razor edged acidity promises great evolution
with cellaring.
