Savoury nose. Quite light, but very well balanced acidity and great length. — 6 years ago
Super peachy upfront, less ripe on the palate. Crisp with lots of minerally stone fruit. $27 with shrimp, asparagus, and artichoke spring risotto — 7 years ago
Dry as a bone rosé, nice effervescence to it. Bits of salt, strawberry, and hay. — 8 years ago
Alsace Gewurz is a wine I pop when I want to reward myself. Tonight it’s a reward for getting a lot of yard-work done on a ridiculously hot and humid day and not getting dehydrated.
The nose is Gewurtzy, of course, in that it shows lychee, apricot, and musky florals, but what really sets this apart from the run-of-the-mill G-Dog is its minerality. Takes it from the verge of cloying, with which Gewurz can flirt, to something special. Soft and full in the mouth, slightly sweet. Very long finish. — 8 years ago

Yellow and green. Clean with good minerality. — 4 years ago
“In the glass, the wine has a beautiful, limpid yellow gold color. Aromas of Cavaillon melons, lemon oil, macadamia, and crystallized honey, along with more fleeting suggestions of bergamot, orange blossoms, and dried figs move in and out of the foreground as the nose evolves in the glass. On the palate, the wine is dry, sumptuous, and harmonious, with layered flavors that echo the nose, all seasoned with the exotic saline minerality that is characteristic of Maxime’s brilliant 2018 vintage.” — Moore Brothers Wine Co. — 6 years ago
Lemon cest, dried apricots, pencil shaves, medium body, quite long saline finish... — 7 years ago
Charming, ethereal body, zesty acidity, apricot, Golden Delicious apples, nectarines, and well integrated RS. All this loveliness at just 8%ABV. This will just get better with age. — 8 years ago
Great tension between racy & creamy elements. Wet stones, orange peel, cream, chervil. Impeccable. #barmesbuecher #pinotblanc — 8 years ago

Im Vergleich zum Königsfels nicht ganz so filigran, aber in seiner eigenen Art ein immer wieder leckerer Nahe Riesling — 5 years ago
Nice fruitiness and bit of residual sugar here at 9% Alc. Juicy with ripe citrus and stone fruit.
Just lacking some of the acidic tension and verve I crave. But for $12?!? What’s not to love about the undervaluation of German Riesling? — 6 years ago
This is a wonderful aged Riesling from Germany. Showing great complexity and mouthfeel. Light and buttery at the same time.
Off dry on the palate with citrus, lemons, diesel, tropical fruits, minerals, white pepper, sea salt, mangoes and pineapples.
Needs 30 minutes to open up properly and bring out all that complexity on the nose.
This 41 year old is well balanced with nice acidity to balance out the sugars. Refreshing when properly chilled.
So delicious 😋
I paired it with some seafood appetizers, and especially loved it with the spicy Tuna.
