I wrote this and posted this on Facebook and am now copying and posting it here on Chatwine.blogspot.com. It has been fun to work with Domaine Select Wines now for several years. I first encountered them at a Bacchus Imports Portfolio Wine-Tasting at Nora' s organic restaurant in Northwest, Washington D.C. : and remember being bowled over by two wines that I tasted there. I spoke with our local rep Sal Furfari of Bacchus and ordered the wines through him, had them delivered , and then asked him to arrange a visit at our store Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits 3423 Connecticut Avenue N.W. Washington D.C. 20008 with Daniel Hubbard. Daniel came bearing many wonderful wines for us to sample at Cleveland Park which included some of these Austrian and German, and Italian wines ... and the rest is history. It's been a fine working relationship with DOMAINE SELECT. I still have their small, almost pocket-size ( actually double the size ) catalogue of wines that I look at from time to time that I got years ago at Nora's wine-tasting I believe? Anyway, come check these out and others that we have from the DOMAINE SELECT portfolio of really fine wines that are specific to their origins, their grapes, and what the two can do with the least amount of human intervention possible. Fine wines, cheers, thanks Daniel, Anne, Sam, Sal and DOMAINE SELECT of course! TONY Happy Sunday, July 21st, 2013.

Thanks Daniel Hubbard for this excellent weekend wine-tasting here! We also have the bottle the lady is holding there of the PETER JACOB KUHR " Jacobus " 2011 Rheingau Riesling Trocken from Germany's Rheingau, $22.99, Qualitatswein, 11.5% alcohol by volume, from WEINGUT PETER JAKOB KUHR D-65375 Oestrich from DSWE Imports in New York ... that is also a Demeter - biodynamic wine. Cheers : it's a real beauty this 2011 Jacobus Rheingau Riesling Trocken. Sam Andersen that now works for DSWE brought these recently to Michel Dumas and Anthony Quinn ( me ) and we bought them immediately as we had a real need for it again. Cheers, Happy Friday, July 19th, 2013 everyone. Stay cool and hydrated so you can come here and buy this and enjoy it this weekend with a meal. Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn
