Comments on: Crazy guy, brilliant wines http://elitistreview.com/2009/12/06/crazy-guy-brilliant-wines/ The limits of pleasure are yet to be defined or reached  Thu, 17 May 2012 16:53:37 +0100 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: David Strange http://elitistreview.com/2009/12/06/crazy-guy-brilliant-wines/comment-page-1/#comment-223 David Strange Mon, 07 Dec 2009 09:37:53 +0000 /?p=382#comment-223 Oh no, not another Deiss. I hope you are not some great soothsayer of doom, Jeremy. Perhaps even by mentioning this idea you have conditioned it to happen. I was thinking about Deiss as I came out the psychiatrist's establishment this morning. The association was strangely not nut-cases, but rather the doctor asked me for some wine recommendations and I told him to get some Sorg Riesling. I thought of Riesling then started musing on the best ones I had tried. The 1990 Altenberg, 1988 Altenberg VT and 1993 Schoenenbourg from Deiss feature highly in that list. Mind-buggeringly amazing. Stupendously good. And if we taste what he makes now... Ah... Deary me. Oh no, not another Deiss. I hope you are not some great soothsayer of doom, Jeremy. Perhaps even by mentioning this idea you have conditioned it to happen.

Feel free to have some shipped to your cellar in Morey! Could Cédric Bouchard be a modern day Deiss? Making some of the most brilliant and exciting wines ever and then turning his talents to wines that we will all hate?
