Old Vines Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling

passed its prime .. still delicious

Dry and delicious! Let the craziness begin at Food and Wine!

Wow! Solid dry riesling! Thank you Kim!

This almost dry, pseudo GG "Old Vines" bottling is quite a unique wine. I love it for what it is but always think "I wish this was the regular spätlese."
