Grosser Ring
Bishop's Ring
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Really liked this cab. One of the smoothest I’ve tried, bold, not overly fruit forward. — 3 years ago

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Cerasuolo 2009
Give a ring if there's anything else like it as a rose
It mingles with light reds easily, but has the fun part of a fresh rose with the complexity that unfolds over and over
The elegance is somewhere between a Volnay and a Barolo
Cola, raspberries, sweet tobacco, white choc, salted caramel, mou, forest floor, mushroom and slightly grillée
Nearly fizzy when opened
It was worth the wait
A star!! — 3 years ago

Dhroner Grosser Hengelberg Monopollage Reserve Riesling 2020
Just a stunning and unique nose of startling originality. Wild mint, flowers and pollen. Marzipan. Really floral like a flower shop but also the pollen is really there and really unique! Stunning. Deep slate and minerality behind it all. Genius. The vividness and accuracy of the aromas is blowing my mind. 9.9 nose. Just magical. Smells Tolkienesque. My god how elegant this wine is and super fresh. Intense, exploding minerality and endless depth. The acid is perfection for all the wealth of material. Length is stupid long. This glides on the palate. What a mid palate and an almost tannic grip on the finish. This initially is 100% mineral on the palate and I’m curious if it will fruiten up. I know it will. That finish is full of pulverized slate and keeps going and going. Amazing concentration and mouthfeel. The acid is so straight. Doesn’t go up or down, weather stays right down the middle of the plate. I love this when. So unique, delicious and exciting. I’ll be back as it airs out. — 2 years ago
Domaine de Fontsainte
Gris de Gris Corbières Grenache Gris Rosé 2019
Quite fruity on the nose with cantelope, strawberry, pink grapefruit, and maybe a hint of thyme. Lots of juicy fruit on the palate: underripe strawberries, grapefruit, orange peel. Fairly high, zesty acidity makes it very refreshing. Perfect wine to ring in the summer and a good value. — 4 years ago

Terrific. So dense. Big minerals and acids.
Not a typical Mosel Riesling. Much more Rheinhesseny.
Nose: peach skin. Some mountain stream. Yellow peaches. Confectionery.
Palate Candied pink grapefruit pith. Perfect peach. Huge fruit. Unreal deliciousness. Amazing density. The fruit of an auslese but dry. Sweet minerals. Sick spice. Amazing balance in a big frame.
Ultimately really effing delicious.
