This wine was like $22 and came very close to being the wine of the night for me. Super impressed with the depth and width of the fruit - from lime to cassis - flavors. Generous body and gripping acid. Comes close to being the perfect white to have in the fridge at all time.

Admittedly a weird pairing with roasted corn (is there a NOT weird wine pairing w/roasted corn?) but delightful. Very young, mildly bottle shocked but shows some serious aromatic exuberance. Fruity/floral, the wine has opened up over the course of the evening.

Off dry, peaches, marmalade, touch of boytritis, apricots, great acid, that rubber hose in the nose. Just a great wine.

Aromatics strikingly similar to a Loire Cabernet Franc: jalapeños, violets (intermingled with some lilacs) and a touch savory with a beautiful core of dark fruit and a significant mineral character to boot. Where it diverges from the Old World oddly enough is on it's leaner palate and less tannic finish. I'm always impressed by these wines.

Honeysuckle and stones. Finger Lakes once again proves it is the premier Riesling region in North America.

One of my all-time favorite #flx rieslings. Powerful aromatics; petrol, apple and floral. Vibrant acidity and great length. LOVE Wiemer

The most Germanic new world Riesling I have tasted - beautiful sweetness with linear mineral backbone - very impressed!

2013 -$23
Not a fan of this style. I find it flabby and of limited dimensions. Low acid.
