Spätlese trocken is so interesting. This wine has a mouthwatering acidity and tons of bright, underripe tropical fruit (pineapple) and green apple notes. Slight whiff of flint on the nose but not stinky. Missing a bit of the mineral/slate of Mosel (don’t know what you’ve got til it’s not there…) but strangely has a bit of a tannic finish which helps with structure. @ noreetuh and delightful with Hawaiian food. — 2 days ago

Have to admit I like her frappato blends a bit better. This Nero d’Avola is light and elegant to start but then finishes a bit brooding and heavy - like a dancer jumping into the air and then stomping back down to earth. @ Chambers — 17 days ago

Tangy red cherries, currants, syrupy consistency and high acidity. Tannins were smoothed out with age. — 23 days ago

Aromatic in that “saucy” baijiu way, nutty, yeasty and savory rice. Salinity in the background - much enhanced by (liquid) olives! Also, why has no one made a dirty (with olive juice) sherry spritzer yet?? @ Mercado Little Spain — 3 days ago

Charming floral nose apropos of VR: white lilies, violets. Blackberries and brambly earth. Sadly, it is one of those wines that is more charming to smell than to drink but nothing technically at fault with the taste at all. @ Chambers — 17 days ago

Flinty and mineral, tropical fruits to citrus. Solidly dry and good acidity. — 17 days ago

Tannins have softened but still lend a nice structure, tasted angular rather than round. Dark red fruit, blackberries, relatively fresh. Graphite and a good mix of spices, cinnamon stick. Medium finish. @ La Tete d’Or — 3 days ago

Easy, well-balanced Riesling. Dry but not very dry. Crisp and clean finish. Great for daily drinking and an absolute steal for Mosel at $15. — 9 days ago

Very nice Burgundian-style chardonnay with Oregon terroir. Polite, refined, and balanced. @ Chambers — 17 days ago

A serviceable if rather plain pinot noir. Made in a light and fresh style - translucent garnet color with red fruit, black tea, and a hint of spice. — a month ago
