Men In White Coats
Domaine Pascal Cotat
La Grande Côte Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2010
Straw gold color. Nice weight. Notes of citrus and pit fruit, honeysuckle and some kiwi. Rich and round in the mouth. Coats the palate. Still youthful. Very nice. — 3 years ago
Alfred Merkelbach
Kinheimer Rosenberg Kabinett Riesling
Found this winery in a small German town in the Mosel valley. Knocking on the door, we met the two +90yr old men, owners who showed us around and invited us for drinks. On the wall there were pictures of both of them from the war 😬😳. In the cellar we tasted many different reislings which were all completely stellar. All amazing and may be peaking now, after 7yrs cellaring. Notes of honey pineapple, lime petroleum baked apple & minerals. Great silky mouth feel. 4€ !!!!?! — 4 years ago
Domaine Leflaive
Les Pucelles Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 1995
Medium gold in color but has a youthful appearance and scent. Notes of ripe apricot, pineapple, lemon curd, some spice and a little wet river stone. Beautiful fruit and acidity as the juice coats the mouth. With a few hours of air this gets more tropical in style. In a good drinking window, and I don’t think it will get any better with more age. — 4 years ago
Chateau Ste. Michelle
Columbia Valley Riesling 2022
Sweet, light acidic, green apple. Nice but has a slight burn in the aftertaste. Coats the tongue. — 10 months ago
Teutonic Wine Company
David Hill Vineyard Silvaner 2019
My first “Sylvaner” (someone spelled it wrong here), and man, did it shine across some home made coconut curry! Notes of crisp apple comes bold through the palate, with cinnamon notes hidden in the back, and a nice minerality dancing in the background. The body was surprisingly full, and it coats the palate just right for a meal with little to Bon-noticeable acidity. If you find a Sylvaner, buy it, save it a bit, then drink it. — 3 years ago
The ones I have had recently have been from Peter Leipold(really good) and a riesling-silvaner blend from Emrich-Schonleber. Good producers include hard to find names like Theo Luckert, Paul Weltner.
Alsace producers include a little more common names like: Weinbach and Boxler.
Sorry, not a very helpful answer. But the gems can be rewarding when you find them
Château de Pibarnon (Comte de Saint Victor)
Bandol Bourboulenc Blend 2019
Nose is delicate. Not much chatter. White flowers, thorny pale rose petals, peach.
The beauty is in the texture. Absolutely let this thing get to room temp. Cooks down like thick stock. Firms up. Coats the throat like cough syrup. Waxy, acidic, powerful.
Flavors are concentrated versions of the aromas - peach and apples plus hints of almond and white flowers. — 2 years ago
Domaine Hervé Azo
Vau de Vey Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2019
The differences between good and very good Chablis lie in the nuances. In this Premiere Cru from Herve Azo, we get lots to drool over - transitions from smell into texture into flavor. Crisp, clean, flinty yeasty lemons triple lutz into fully lush lemon cream. Coats the tongue like robes of sweet tropical fruit fondit.
And all this for about $30 — 3 years ago
Domaine Louis Michel
Forêts Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay
Excellent Chablis - classic oyster shell and minerality in a slightly oily texture that coats the mouth as you enjoy an array of primary fruits - lemon peel, apple, pear, peach pith, along with floral notes of orange blossom and white flower. This is all cut perfectly by high acidity that carries the flavors in a long and lively finish. — 4 years ago

Honey, herbaceous. Residual sugar coats the tongue in a pleasing way, and finishes with some acid — 8 months ago
