Cheeses: Brillant Savarin, Chèvre de la Loire, Beaufort d'Été 16 months, Comté 36 months, Stilton.

All thre wines went well with the cheeses. All three wines were fresh despite their age, even the Riesling from 1994. Which, btw, was the best match with four of the five cheeses. The best pairing with the chevre from the Loire was - no surprise - the Cabernet Franc from the Chinon (Loire region), see 2/4.

3/4 Menu with four courses.
Intermediate Course: Cheese & off-dry and sweet Rieslings

Chicken-Shrimp-Laksa with Udon noodles. Laksa is a traditional curry from Southeast Asia. I use a vegetarian Laksa paste which I prepare myself, and add coconut milk, champignons, chicken and shrimp dumplings.

2011 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese*** 13% Markus Molitor from the Moselle River is off-dry and goes well with the Laksa Curry.

2016 Jesuitengarten Riesling GG from Bassermann-Jordan from the Palatinate region (Pfalz) is a dry wine which also goes well with the Laksa Curry as the curry isn't too spicy.

2021 Jodokus Beerenauslese 9.5% from Drautz-Able from the Württemberg region is a sweet wine made from the Kerner grape. The variety is rare nowadays but 50 years ago it was well-known. It tastes like a cuvée of Riesling and Müller-Thurgau. Excellent wine and not a bad combination with the Laksa Curry but the dry and off-dry wines fit better.

Wine & Dine - Chicken-Shrimp-Laksha and three wines

A different bottle of #wine with dinner this evening…

My wife prepared some lettuce wraps and figured a nice #Riesling would go great with it…

Thus a #Kabinett from #MarkusMolitor

It’s a great dry Riesling that is so food friendly and at 10% ABV easy to drink and stay less tipsy.
