Mosel Kabinett Riesling 2020
Definitely an off-dry, sweeter Riesling. Almost a petrol aroma, but not entirely off-putting. I’d prefer more heady citrus. — 2 years ago
Prinz Salm
Two Princes Riesling 2020
Not overly acidic and not overly sweet. I can’t seem to narrow down any particular scent/flavor. Pleasant and easy drinking, crisp and fresh. — 2 years ago
Weingut Max Ferd. Richter
Mülheimer Sonnenlay Qualitätswein 'Zeppelin Label' Mosel Riesling 2021
Very bright citrus, off-dry which balances the higher acidity. Floral notes on scent, but mostly a clean citrus. Easy to drink, not many layers of flavors. — 2 years ago
Cloudline Cellars
Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Main aroma of cranberries and other bright red fruits. Very acidic which pairs nicely with the cranberry scent. Light-bodied with no lingering finish that I can decipher. I’ve seen other comments about the earthy tones, but I can’t get past the strong cranberry. I could see maybe a spice on the finish, but nothing “earthy”. — a year ago
Lucien Albrecht
Réserve Alsace Gewürztraminer 2020
Definitely some floral notes, less spice. Interesting to drink, off-dry but the higher alcohol content keeps it from being syrupy sweet. More aromatic in scent and flavor, but expected from this varietal. — 2 years ago
Glunz Family Winery and Cellars
Santa Barbara County White Hawk Vineyard Viognier 2021
Not what I was expecting. Scent first reminded me of baby wipes, likely the floral notes. Not very fruit forward. The taste was reminiscent of cured summer sausage. Higher alcohol, but not hot. Wouldn’t buy again. — 2 years ago

Kruger-Rumpf
Riesling 2021
Not specifically dry, but less sweet than other Rieslings I’ve had. Very acidic and bright, went great with the mildly spiced Thai dinner we enjoyed. Would enjoy again, as it’s not too sweet, just very refreshing and citrus, maybe a very slight mineral finish. Aromas of fresh squeezed citrus fruits, not petrol or mineral to me. — 2 years ago
Airlie Winery
Willamette Valley Müller-Thurgau 2018
An interesting blend, with the characteristics of Riesling, but not as crisp. Scented more cider, apple notes with citrus hints taking back the Riesling cross. Not minerally or overly acidic. Would try again, but wouldn’t consider greater or lesser than a straight Riesling varietal. — 2 years ago

I really enjoyed this wine. First experience with this brand, and found it delicious and smooth. I’ll definitely have to try it again soon to note the scents and flavors. — a year ago
