$11, 5 stars, 90 points, germany, Rheinessen, riesling


Pale lemon colored, with medium viscosity (11.5% ABV).  The nose has medium intensity aromas of lemon curd, lemon zest, petrol, lanolin, white blossom, pink grapefruit, apricot, and some fresh green herbs.  The palate is dry, with high acidity and a medium body.  Medium (+) intensity flavors are citrus driven, with less emphasis on the petrol and herbs.  The finish has a nice refreshing cut to it which lingers mid length.  A very pleasant bottle of dry German Riesling that gets 90 points.  It has some cellaring capacity, but drinks beautifully now.  At the $11 price point, this is a porch pounder to stock up on that gets 5 stars.  I’m pairing it with Cornish Hens and pasta.  Salut….

$14, 2 stars, 84 points, dessert wine, dornfelder, germany, Rheinessen


Deep purple colored, with a watery sheen (8% ABV).  The nose has medium intensity aromas of candied red cherry, ripe black raspberry, red plum, violets, acai berry, and petrichor.  The palate is semi-sweet, with medium (-) acidity, medium (+) body, and low tannins.  Medium (-) intensity flavors of a red fruit cocktail with some herbal notes.  The weight comes from the residual sugar, whilst the low tannins make it a relatively easy drinking sweetie.  The lowish acidity adds to the weight, making it a bit cloying.  The finish is medium (-) in length.  It’s not my style, nor did I mean to buy a semi-sweet red wine.  I have had others, which balance the sweetness with some acidity, making the mouthfeel less heavy.  It’s not a refreshing wine, nor is it sweet enough to be a stickie, it’s probably a decent aperitif for some.  84 points from me for this $14 effort makes it a 2 star wine in my books.  Drink now.  Salut….

Geil 1760 Gewurtztraminer Kabinett 2021, Rheinessen, Germany

$20, 5 stars, 91 points, germany, Rheinessen


Pale to medium lemon/lime colored with a watery sheen (8.5% ABV!).  The nose is intensely aromatic with rose water, apricots, ginger snaps, grass, honeysuckle, curry powder (yup, curry powder), lychees and crushed stone.  The palate is off-dry as expected but has medium acidity and hint of bitterness.  I feel the body is quite full, as the wine coats my palate but the low alcohol defies that logic.  The fruity, aromatic, perfumed flavors echo the nose with emphasis on ginger and lychees.  The finish is quite long, the perfume just lingers on the palate.  It’s a delicious wine and I picked it to pair with spicy tacos- I think the level of sugar, acidity and big aromatic qualities will do well in the combination.  I am thinking 91 points for this $20 wine, making it a 5 star effort.  I can see myself loading up on this low alcohol, slightly sweet wine that will pour easily all summer long and pairing it with all manner of lighter fare- even some spicy dishes like mine.  Drink till 2025.  Salut….
