Ponzichter Pinot Noir Zweigelt

Dope red, with a chill on it was very refreshing, fruity, light bodied. Type of red I love, didn’t taste super dark or overly earthy. Easy to drink, felt simple enough to enjoy w/o knowing much about wine’s. — 6 months ago

Pluris Smaragd Grauburgunder 2012

(Tasted November 2019)
Not your uncle’s Pinot Grigio. Full bodied and luscious with ripe orchard fruit, minerals, and enough structure to keep evolving in the cellar. This was a fun left field bottle to share with wine geeks at thanksgiving. $40

More info: 25 year old vines in heavy clay soil. Pluris vineyard is steep with only one row of vines per terrace for maximum exposure.

Haus Klosterberg Mosel Riesling

I brought the spice with this red curry situation so this was just the thing. Refreshing with a hint of tropical fruit and slightly inorganic nose, hint of lees — 3 months ago

Rotes Tor Federspiel Wachau Grüner Veltliner 2011

Very nice with the age. Nice mix of flowers, fruit, and pepper on the nose. Quite deep and refined but good acid and a nice finish. — 8 months ago

Aromas of lycee, pineapple, and citron, strong minerality, wet stone, soft touch, balanced interplay of sweetness and acidity, very long finish. — 4 years ago

Manna Schweizer Riesling Blend 2018

Perhaps more interesting than good - blend of Riesling, Chardonnay, gewurz, kerner, sauv blanc. Balanced, with good florals, nice fruit and body. Acid a bit lacking, and not quite harmonious. — 6 months ago

Hochheimer Kirchenstück Spätlese Riesling 1998

Served double-blind. The wine appears as a deep golden color. Medium+ viscosity. The nose is a fascinating combination of intense honey suckle, orange blossom, coriander, candied oranges, and candied nuts. The palate follows suit with more honey suckle, citrus blossom and a slight nutty characteristic. There is definitely some residual sugar here. There is really good acid keeping everything afloat. The finish is long and short of cloying. Really impressive texture. Based on the color and the somewhat oxidative notes, I figured this had at least 10-15 years of age on it. I vacillated between Sauternes and Riesling…ultimately calling Sauternes from Barsac (feeling as though this was more Semillon than Sauvignon Blanc). I chose, poorly. But the wine is good and it positively begs for spicy Asian food. — 3 years ago
