Wow! He doesn't call it "the green goblin" for nothing. Perfect dry Riesling. Screaming acid. @jbrixwine @vinoguy @emilyldt

Great to meet the winemakers and taste a vineyard near my childhood home.

This is fleshing out nicely. Last year it was all acid and minerals up front. I enjoyed it then, but might not have guessed Riesling blind. This time there is no doubt. Some petrol on the nose and honey-tinged lemon in the middle. 11.1% ABV and a nice expression of Kick On Riesling.

Enjoyed this over four nights - still going strong. Whiff of petrol on the nose, Meyer lemon, minerality and strong acidity on the palate. 11.1% ABV. Score another one for the San Diego J Brix team!
