Gut Hermannsberg
Kupfergrube Großes Gewachs Nahe Riesling 2017
Super fine and mineral nose. Confectionery. Crushed rocks. This is dancing on the palate. Textured and rich but it’s also so fine. Juicy and concentrated and so sappy and so pure. Dense yet dancing. The most cerebral wine of the trip. — 2 years ago

Izumibashi Shuzo
Black Dragonfly Kurotonbo Kimoto Junmai
Izumibashi Black Dragonfly “Kurotonbo” Kimoto Junmai. This is Kimoto style sake which if I understand correctly refers to how they prepare the Koji mold. Color has a slight yellow tint, less than straw-like. I get almost nothing on the nose. The weight is slightly heavier than water and I’m guessing +2 but I don’t have this calibrated yet. Slight bitterness on the palate as it warms, was what I would call sweet initially. Finish lingers for a long time. Will be interesting to hear the pro comments. Not sure on the rice. — 8 months ago

Beautiful poise. Light and refined. Soft lemon. Rock pools, minerality, a hint of corn and yellow flowers. Intense but light and dancing on the palate. Great balance and long. Powerful but still subtle. — 3 months ago
V. Sattui Winery
Dancing Egg Riesling
This is Mt. Veeder, Napa- my favorite v. Sat. Wine. Concrete egg ferment and age, hence the name. Mineral and a background of petrol and roses that will reveal with age. — a year ago
La Cave du Vin Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle
Valée d'Aosta Prié Blanc 2020
Crisp, clean, dancing across the palate with zippy acidity. Lemon, yuzu, grapefruit…. Low ABV. Laser-like sharpness cleanses the richness of cacio Pepe and black olive branzino…1200 ft vineyards…absolutely brilliant! — 3 years ago
