Breaktime from Xmas shopping with a refreshing lift from the Isarco Valley. Kerner is a personal favorite. With its lilting crisp acidity, white florals, honey, slate, and ripe green apple. Tiny bit of flabbiness which I'll chalk up to a bad vintage but makes up for it with a reasonably long finish. — 8 years ago
Ayako m'a dit "tu connais ce vin, mais goûte".
Ok... Toujours aussi bien, ce sauvignon blanc d'Andreas Tscheppe. C'est minéral, carré, du vin sérieux, bien dégagé derrière les oreilles, autrichien, quoi. "Il est vif, hein ? Pourtant, j'ai ouvert la bouteille il y a un mois !"...

Alpine Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Petit Manseng? Super cool and surprising. Nice palate weight from the Chard, nervy herbal tension from the PB and PM. Captivating. Thanks @Patrick Ballow #OliverMcCrum — 10 years ago
One of my all time favorites. Great acidity with loads of lychee and pear fruit. Another gorgeous gem from Andreas. — 10 years ago

One day I'm going to qualify in my mind how Laibel is different than producers from other, more exalted Riesling regions. For now, the best I can do is to say that the Klingelberger is to a dry wine from the Wonnegau as a great and classic Chablis is to a wine from Puligny or Chassagne. It's really a quiet sort of excellence and a subtle beauty. — 9 years ago
Probably one the best wines I have had! This was Christmas Eve 2014, but I still remember it! — 9 years ago
Holy shit! Loads of tropical fruit, almost like a hoppy IPA, Amarillo. Amazing. — 11 years ago

1997 vintage. Very special. Fragrant on the nose - stewed fruit, dried herbs - a bit like a pot pouri. Smooth in the mouth, not too tanic. Excellent — 6 years ago

Green Muscat from Austria. This is the first time I've had this varietal. Very unique nose of soap stone. Really enjoyed this wine. Kudos to Dr Carney. — 9 years ago
Huge fan of Weissburgunder of late, more so than the "Pinot Blanc" that I have had from Alsace or Oregon. The minerality and precision that this grape gives you in the right terroir and dutiful hands that don't do too much is enlightening! #weissburgunder #wine — 9 years ago
intenso di profumi di fiori e frutta, la pera soprattutto, grande freschezza che rimbalza per tutta la bocca, un gran corpo per un bianco, una bella struttura è un discreto equilibrio per quanto un vino così possa essere equilibrato, lungo nel finale con un retrogusto di mandorle fresche — 9 years ago

This is one of my favorite producers in the Mosel, Andreas Resch. His wines are feminine, with amazing aromatics, rounder mouth feel, a lush wine but not flabby. Schlangegraben means "snake ditch vineyard." We hope to import his 2012 in the next few months. — 12 years ago

Really impressed with this for $20. Floral, aromatic nose. Certainly orange in the glass. Full bodied with a touch of tannin. Earth, and a distinct bergamot note. Great on its own but would be great with grilled chicken or prawns. — 6 years ago
