Ürziger Würzgarten Auslese Riesling 2023

Smells like a German Riesling. "That's one for me".

Ürziger Würzgarten Spatlese Riesling 2015

Vintage 2015 | true to type Riesling. Beautiful slate minerals in smell, full bodied at first sip, good acidity after swallowing. Personally I prefer the Mosels with sweetness. Why harvest spätlese and Auslese and vinify it ‘trocken’ ? A slightly better when you eat with it, eg some charcuterie. — 2 years ago

I find that a lot of dinner guests who aren’t wine geeks like me say “I don’t like sweet wines” and I have an easier time getting them to enjoy wines if I can bypass that bias and tell them, “No, this Riesling’s fermented to dryness.”

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Cabernet from Napa will never be great, but this is damn good for being a Cabernet from Napa. Sugar is more muted than is the norm for the region. — 5 months ago

Becker Family Pinot Blanc 2020

A great refreshing light white wine. Citrus and curd flavor with razor sharp nose. The acidity on the back end lasts a long time. — 2 years ago

Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling 2022

Pale lemon color with medium+ intensity aromas of floral, ripe stone and citrus fruits with earthy notes. On the palate flavors of ripe peach, apple, lemon, apricot, melon with wet stone mineral. Vivid acidity with great mouthfeel on medium+ finish. Can age a bit but is very good now for optimal freshness. — 6 months ago

Kammerberg Erste Lage Spätburgunder 2019

Dusty, slightly darker cherry, a hint of plum, nice undergrowth. A bit of tree bark. Darker. Powerful on the palate with strong tannins, zippy acidity. Currently finishes off a bit dry, needs a lot of time! — 2 years ago
