Rain

No walk for the dogs this morning as the skies opened up to the tune of an inch of rain in less than 20 minutes.  The respite was brief as the sun is back out and the temperatures are up again, but it is steamy with all the evaporation.

Last night was a Riesling evening and the wine of choice was a 2007 Wilhelm Bergmann Bernkasteler Kurfurstlay Kabinett from the Mosel.  It was everything that a Riesling should be - sharp, tart, acidic, off dry, refreshing, smelling of rocks and citrus, and all around making one very happy.    8.5% alcohol and a mere $8 from a close-out bin.
