Dec 31st, 2021Grandpa’s cologne. Like a great sauterne on the nose - honeyed and redolent of botrytis - but then the palate is, to my taste, overripe, boozy, syrupy and heavy. All the notes of spice, intrigue and complexity are swallowed up by the lack of acid and overzealous ripeness.

Oct 12th, 2019This is a blend of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer. More than anything, I picked up the Gewürztraminer very easily. Tons of lychee, honeycomb and underripe golden raisins. Age has given this a savory component of nougat and toffee. Surprised at the acidity here...no rush. Love quality Alsatian wines.

Aug 11th, 2015This wine, I believe is a field blend. The apricot fruit here makes me think there is a fair amount of Pinot Gris. Rich, viscous and luscious. Fairly sweet. Went well with spicy Asian chicken soup.
