As sweet as the wine that she’s named for, this girl is friendly and fun. She was firstborn of triplets. She has the long body of her sire and the coloring of her dam.
An F7, Riesling will easily qualify as purebred. Just look at those ears. Her sire, Mazy, puts wonderful ears and breed character on his kids!
We are looking forward to freshening her in the fall of 2024, for 2025 kids.

Riesling’s Dam Line
Riesling’s dam is our own Storybook’s Doux Champagne, who (at this writing) is on track to gain her milk star here in 2024, which will make her a 2*P.
She has effortlessly nursed triplets in this her second freshening. Her udder is high, tight, and productive. (Click on her name to see more about her.)
Riesling’s granddam is Udderly Precious Mimz the Word *P. In 2021, Mimzie easily earned her milk production star. In fact, in the MDGA national rankings for 304-day milking Mini Nubians, she ranked 7th nationally for milk weight, and 10th in butterfat weight. She was 5 years old that year.
We have retired Mimzie now that we have two of her daughters by Green Gables E Asher *B. Before she retired, we milked her through for more than one year before drying her off to breed again. She is truly a prodigious milker!
Riesling’s Sire Line
Riesling was sired by Green Gables AC Amazing Asteroid *B. This purebred boy puts truly amazing breed character on his kids, and we’re expecting that his daughters will put a lot of milk in the pail! His topline is long and level, and his rump is wide.
His dam is Green Gables FF Cali Eclipse 5*P. In 2020, placed twice on the MDGA Top Ten 305-Day List: #3 for Milk Weight and #5 for Butter Fat Weight. In 2021, Eclipse peaked on test at 14#, and was Top Ten again: #7 in Butter Fat Weight.
Mazy’s dam’s udder is pictured here. Eliya Elmquist writes: “She is linebred on one of the most amazing MiniNubian does who has become a legend among MiniNubian breeders: VMCH Echo Hill’s Molly O’Malley 2*P. Eclipse has been slower to mature, but bloomed as a 2nd freshening 3 year old with amazing production and filled out much more.”
