Festivity Drink: Gamla Riesling.

Every one of my cats has a favorite chair in the kitchen, which, fortunately, doesn’t include mine. We usually sit together when I have lunch. I found myself between them. They didn’t join me on Christmas Eve day in that period of time, but I was victorious in not having anything undone as it was scheduled. Though a little correction required after lunch, but I met Christmas in a free spirit.

I was never familiar with Kennedy Center Honors until this year by getting to know about its corruption, which was in political correctness smearing. But that evil was defeated there too. I wanted to see this awarding, because it had amazing recipients. I didn’t like a design of the previous reward. That ribbon shines in your eyes with its non-seriousness, and it has a look of regalia of university professors that made my blood run cold. The appearance of medal fixes these shortcomings and makes to believe it is the highest prize in art.

This was a wonderful show, and it was nice to see guests who praised Sylvester Stallone and Michael Crawford and listen their powerful speeches. I was pleased there was nothing that was done for political correctness.

A little later, I wanted to see 1977 TV program Bing Crosby’s Merrie Olde Christmas. Unfortunately, I didn’t find this Christmas Special. I could only have from there a piece with David Bowie that I had seen before. I admitted the misfire of their duet again, which was that their voices weren’t synchronous. I had nothing other but to listen songs of Bing Crosby, where sometimes he shared a microphone with Andrews Sisters and Fred Astaire. Anyway, my Christmas dinner was in vermicelli and prawns, which I could in one pot in five minutes. It was a small portion, as I found out. I only had wine a lot. I cooked this dish for the second time.

I have always experienced magnificence in everything from Israel. I became convinced of that with chocolate months ago. That one contained an extremely high percentage of cacao, which was 70% as a minimum. It was conservative and not astringent in taste. Israeli people know how to achieve harmony. Being in a great relationship with their wines, I decided to have a bottle of Gamla Riesling. I was attracted by how it would turn out with the traditional grape of untrustworthy Germany (which that country produces since 1435, according to the first recorded documentation). The drink has 13%, and is from 2023.

A transparent yellow appearance accepts as high-proof gold. The smell brings elite grapes and acidity.  An abundance of grapes comes in drinking, especially it experiences in rinsing, which is lovable to do. A light acidity in the end, which is expected from Riesling, and it is a nice pinching in this case. However, the traditional German grape is notoriously known for a high level of acidity. Israelis show they can make incredible from such a grape. Light stance in the aftertaste with a pleasant acidity. The drink becomes greater after getting the air and tastes as a matured wine. This bottle makes to believe in miracles.

P.S. Then I had 2022 Yarden Chardonnay, which was sweeter after Gamla Riesling. Nevertheless, it was same excellent as I once described.
