A 2007 dry(ish) Scheurebe that must have made it into our container ship... This is a varietal that I don't believe I've ever tried.

 

from Wiki:

"Scheurebe was created by German viticulturalist Dr. Georg Scheu (1879-1949) in 1916, when he was working as director of a grape-breeding institute in Alzey in Rheinhessen, by crossing Riesling with an unknown wild vine. According to the German grape-breeder Helmut Becker, Scheu's purpose was to create a superior version of Silvaner, with more aroma and greater resistance to frost damage and chlorosis. It was long assumed that Scheurebe was Silvaner x Riesling, but DNA analysis in the late 1990s ruled out Silvaner as a parent, while confirming Riesling as the father. It is known that Scheu was working on wild vines, so it is possible that a misidentification of the cross took place."

A decent British cup of bloody tea! Typhoo I think. Fresh from our tea plantations in our far flung Empire!

I just found this ceramic bottle in the back of one of the pantry shelves here in Calif... another gift from the German packers, who said 'BOOZE VERBOTEN in ze container ship' -- who says Germans don't cheat? :D
