This is in a nice place right now.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is great with lemon peel, wet rocks, salinity and slight char.  Medium bodied.  Vibrant acidity.  On the palate, this is sweet, not cloying.  Delicious.  Flavors of lemon, slight apples and minerality.  Long finish.  This is just starting to show some development and should drink well for twenty years.  It is very food friendly and would be great with Thai food.  

Gorgeous wine.  This is a dry Riesling from Germany that is getting close to peak.  Medium golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is great with peach, slight citrus (oranges mostly), and loads of minerality.  Medium to full bodied.  Wonderful energy and balance.  Great texture.  On the palate, this is complex and deep.  Layers of fruit and minerality.  Grapefruit, oranges, and schist.  Great acidity.  Long finish.  This is lovely on its own but better with food.  This would be a great companion to Sushi.  Drink over the next ten to twenty years. 

This is their basic Rielsing.  it is a great value and while not at the level of complexity of their more expensive wines, it still provides a lot.  Light silvery/gold in color with just a touch of green hues.  On the nose, peaches, minerals and slight honeyed notes.  Light to medium bodied.  Slightly viscous.  Slightly sweet but definitely sweet.  Peaches with slight pineapple.  Nice minerality.  Good finish.  This drinks easy and the bottle is soon finished.  Drink over the next five years.  It will work well with Thai or Indian foods.  

Another of my favorite German producers and this is possibly my favorite of all of his wines.  This was better than a bottle I had a couple of years ago.  Light golden in color, with slight silvery hues, clear and bright.  The nose is great with lots of minerality/"wet rocks" along with a touch of pineapple and some salinity.  Medium bodied.  Slightly viscous.  On the palate, this is sweet.  It is also deep and delicious.  As it ages it will develop a complexity but lost some of the vibrancy.  The answer of course is to drink some young and some old.  Flavors of pineapple and minerals.  Lon

One of our favorite German producers.  Golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is great with peaches, wet rocks and a touch of sulfur.  Viscous.  Great acidity.  Great balance.  On the palate, sweet pineapple notes with a touch of coconut and lots of minerality.  Long finish.  Still showing some youth but also starting to show some complexity.  Delicious.  Long finish.  This is great on its own and would work well with foods that work with the sweetness.  It would be great with Thai food.  Drink over the next fifteen to twenty years. 

From Magnum.  This proved to be an excellent choice to bring to a summer soiree of non-wine drinkers.  First, it was a Magnum.  Second, quite a few people passed on this as "they don't like Riesling, its too sweet".  More for the rest of us.  And, it is dry.  13% abv.  Golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with peaches and some minerality.  Medium bodied.  Nice texture.  On the palate, peaches with slight lemon and plenty of minerality.  Moderate acidity.  Nice finish.  This drinks well on its own, and served chilled, was very refreshing on a summer day.  Quite versatile with

Wonderful, if still very young, showing for this wine.  Golden in color with just a hint of green hues.  The nose has peaches with smoke and wet rocks.  Boisterous acidity.  Great texture.  On the palate, this is delicious.  Peaches and baked peaches oppose crisp minerality and wet rocks.  Plenty of depth if still tight.  It unwinds in the glass.  Long finish.  This is very young and just starting to get expressive.  It should improve over the next twenty years or so and then drink well for twenty more after that.  Quite food friendly, it went well with Chinese food but should also work wit

From the Nahe, one of Germany’s best wine growing regions, comes this delightful rosé of Pinot Noir. Known as Spätburgunder in Germany, Pinot Noir is one of the country’s top red wines. Pale copper in color this is an uncomplicated rosé that is aimed for pure enjoyment. There’s proper acidity that flows through this wine from start to finish and just a hint of sweetness. Soft fruit notes of honeydew melon, lemon and strawberry dominate with a whisper of black cherry on the finish. Light, clean and satisfying. ORIGIN: Nahe, Germany. ALCOHOL: 12%

A bit more elegant than many prior vintages.  Silvery/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is tight and takes a while to open.  Eventually showing lots of "wet rocks" and a decidedly concentrated, but not much fruit, nose.  Its all about minerality.  Viscous.  Sweet not cloying on the palate.  Moderate acidity.  A bit of salinity and lots of minerality on the nose.  Good finish.  This is wine that those who don't like over-the-top wines will love.  There is a lot here but with subtlety and less fruit.  It should age wonderfully.  Let this sit for another five to ten years and drink ov
