Niedermenniger Herrenberg Kabinett Feinherb Riesling AP15 2018

So damn good. Light, stone fruit, some acid to keep the sweet in check. Rockstar pairing with mixed sushi. I basically chugged this. — 4 years ago

AP 8 Alte Reben Krettnacher Euchariusberg Kabinett Riesling 2019

My first 2019 Falkenstein. Similar to the few Falkenstein’s of previous vintages that I have consumed , the wine’s acidity takes front & center stage . A nose of lime , peaches and stone fruit put a smile on my face. In the mouth a structure that tickles your mouth like a lovers tongue. Just when you think sweetness might take over, the acidity behaves like a boxer who has their opponent on the ropes. A wave of minerals leave a long caressing finish in the mouth. — 4 years ago

Niedermenninger Sonnenberg Trocken Red Wine 2015

Always love these reds by HF. Whites are truly lightning rods but the reds are just as nuanced with laser beam acids. Always feel guilty about drinking these wines because HF, which I believe initially started in 1989 have no back vintages. I would love to find some older HF wines though — 7 years ago

Krettnacher Altenberg Spätlese Riesling 2014

Laser acidity, but with a lot of depth. Grapefruit, lime, hints of tropical fruit that allude to a sweetness that is totally not there at all. Great length, too. — 7 years ago

Bring on the Saar slate. The perfect "exhausted-after-a-long-week," stay at home and order Chinese bottle of Auslese. So light on its feet, definitely more in Spatlese territory by the standards of most other producers... — 11 years ago
