"We usually turn the heat on in our house at the beginning of September," said Marc Hugel, "but in 2005 it wasn't necessary until October 1 because the weather was so warm." Following a rainy first five days of October, there was a superb 12-day period during which morning fog, afternoon sun and cool nights triggered widespread noble rot, according to Hugel. The Hugels produced gewurztraminer VT and SGN for the first time since 2002. "But our riesling was actually very low in sugar in mid-September, before ripening in a rush at the end," said Marc. (Frederick Wildman & Sons, New York, NY) Also recommended: 2005 Sylvaner (85), 2005 Riesling (85). Other wines tasted: 2005 Gentil, 2005 Pinot Blanc, 2005 Muscat Tradition*.
