Sisters and brothers, it is with great honor and privilege that I present to you three selected wines from the wine exhibition in Gothenburg.
I am usually not a fan of wine labeled by famous people and tend to avoid it. However, after connecting with music artist Jill Johnson and learning about her sommelier background, I gained a deeper appreciation for her private label. It offers a variety that appears American-styled but ultimately delivers the famous Zinfandel taste.
As usual, a couple of Rieslings stand out, playing well in different areas. Perhaps the Riesling is still the master of grapes, and Germany perfects its creation. The Kallfelz Sensus Riesling Hochgewächs Trocken is a dry and elegant wine, while the Deidesheimer Herrgottsacker Riesling Spätlese offers sweet tones yet maintains a developed taste that is not too sweet.
Brothers and sisters, it is a privilege and a great honor to present the five-time Riesling Champion, Philipp Kuhn, with his 2022 Riesling Tradition. This ultra-crisp, affordable wine is perfect for pairing with fish, shellfish, and chicken dishes. Having earned a gold medal in the Mundus Vini Nordic competition, it represents exceptional quality and value.
Brothers and sisters, it’s with great privilege and honour I present to you ‘Lion’s Tooth of McLaren Vale Shiraz Riesling,’ created by winemaker Elena Brooks.
This wine is a tribute to the classic blend of Northern Rhône, combining the robust character of shiraz with the subtle freshness of riesling. Blending blue and green grape varieties, a common practice in Rhône where viognier is often used, Lion’s Tooth adopts this tradition with an Australian twist. The wine has been recognized for its quality, including receiving 94 points from James Halliday for the 2021 vintage, offering a unique taste experience for wine connoisseurs.
It’s time for me to reboot my business and convene in Gothenburg to foster new business collaborations between us. As per our tradition, I’ll bring along a thoughtfully chosen bottle of wine, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions, setting the stage for discussions on how we can synergize for business advancement. The upcoming gathering will highlight Riesling as we engage in productive dialogues. Just send a message to join – it’s an open invitation.
Ordinarily, wine isn’t a matter of chance; it’s crafted deliberately. We make our wine choices thoughtfully, yet occasionally, convenience trumps curiosity, and we settle for the nearest option without further investigation.
This takes me to the Mosel Valley, an enchanting expanse where exquisite wines and breathtaking landscapes converge. The paramount white grape, Riesling, originates here. After a day tracing the meandering river, we pause to switch drivers, unexpectedly stumbling upon a quaint wine cellar. A German lady, who resides above, extends her hospitality, showcasing her family’s meticulously curated collection spanning three generations.
With her knowledgeable guidance, making a selection becomes effortless. I firmly believe that Riesling is the quintessential white grape. Although I’ve explored diverse German regions, the allure of Mosel remains unparalleled.
Especially on Fridays like this, when I’m granted an hour by the sea, reflections of Mosel inundate my thoughts. A classic Riesling bottle awaits beside the shoreline—an tangible emblem of the captivating journey undertaken as a cultural wine enthusiast.
I am checking the time to ensure I make it to the next train station on time. I am embarking on a journey across the top of the mainland of Europe, utilising a combination of ferry and three separate train lines. I fondly remember the trains, painted in wine red and beige, complete with a dining coach and a panoramic level, where chilled Riesling was served in a silver wine cooler filled with ice. Although travel is more straightforward today, it still symbolises a Europe without borders.
I am undertaking this journey to present my business persona at a corporate meeting. As a professional actor, I approach dialogue with transparency, deliver on regulatory requirements responsibly, and provide comprehensive service. This is built upon my business intelligence, extensive knowledge, and unparalleled experience.
