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. — 8 months ago

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.”

Graacher Himmelreich Auslese Mosel Riesling 2005

This showed much younger and fresher than its age. While pure, fresh and in good harmony, the wine lacked the depth and complexity that I usually associate with Schaefer’s wines.

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. — 10 months ago

Ürziger Würzgarten Auslese Riesling *** 2018

Upon opening there's the usual Riesling petroleum nose, but this cleared off quickly. This left a pineapple and apricot nose. And wow. Juicy pineapple and lemon, super fresh and juicy, and so smooth. This is gorgeous! Note: After drinking this for a bit we determined it was a little too sweet. We understood it was a late harvest wine so it is supposed to be sweet, so this is a personal preference. — 3 years ago

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