Bonsai Öregtőkés Kadarka 2017
I happen to think that Kadarka, a Hungarian grape that few have heard of, is one of the most interesting wine grapes around. Similar to Trousseau or Poulssard in weight and finesse, it’s totally delicious. This one is made from gnarled, 100-year-old vines (hence the name) whose delicate fruit is fermented and aged in steel. Aromas of dried flowers and red currant give way to dried herbs, strawberry and cherry flavors with notes of dried fennel seed in the finish. Juicy and bright and a mere 13% alcohol. — 16 days ago

Stirn Faß 15 Riesling 2011
Light color compared to other Rieslings from the Saar. Super intense smell of crushed wet rocks. Taste is elegant and balanced. Medium length with a slightly (too) sweet finish for a dry Riesling. — 9 days ago

Ayler Kupp Faß 5 Kabinett Riesling 2014
Wow so good. Nose has buttered plums and flowers turned up to 11. Incredible density for kabinett, and long. So good already but tertiary qualities just starting to peek out. Two more years this will be even better. — 23 days ago

Alto Adige - Südtirol Sauvignon Blanc 2015
At first I wasn't a fan. It was just kind of acidic and alcoholic. After a bit though it opened up with these really cool tropical fruit notes of guava and pineapple. Pair that with the lemon/lime acidity and you have quite the refreshing quaffer despite being 14%. Interesting and unusual combination of ripeness and acidity. — 5 days ago

Citrus fruit, ripping acidity, long tart, fruity, lingering finish. Rounded out with just a touch of residual sugar. Elite. — 19 days ago
