Betsy's back to the Sonoma diet book, and made a nice spicy Szechuan
shrimp stirfry with Napa cabbage and snow peas. I opened the 2001
Bassermann-Jordan Deidesheimer Paradiesgarten Riesling Kabinett
(Pfalz). A bit sweeter than I remembered, but still dry compared to
most 2001 Pfalzs. Great acidity, but still with a broad creamy
texture. Very full-bodied for Kabinett. David B. was right that some
2001s are emerging from their slumber. Peaches with citrus, a slatey
note on finish. Really quite nice. A-/B+

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

Heh. David doesn't call himself Rieslingfan for nothing, Dale. That
sounds like a winner of a wine.
