Ali Story, of Smith-Story Wines, was in town and did a nice tasting at Classic today. A pleasure to meet and very unique and enjoyable wines.
Ali’s husband Eric was the importer for German Wines for K&L for 10+ years and when they started the winery, they formed a partnership with a winery in the Rheingau. The entire process from vine to bottle is done across the pond, and then imported to their winery in Sonoma. Fantastic nose that hits all the correct notes...fresh cut tennis balls, hint of petrol, lemon tart. Acidity and sugar are on point.

Considerably better with a few years on it. Spatlese level sugar with nice acid and decent complexity. Green apples.

Honey, lemon, and chalky minerals. The acid surges at the finish.

Solid $15 bottle; subtle nose of lemon zing and green apple; similar palate with a clean and sharp (good) acidity.
