  (Geil Silvaner Trocken) ($16.00) The first Silvaner I tasted, and right away I knew; this high-acid vintage would take the sometimes sprawling Silvaner and tighten him up and cram his pockets with flavor. And yes, it may be a one-off, rarely to be repeated, but it’s a cheap one-off and I think you should pounce on the chance. The wine is super. In bottle three weeks when I tasted it, but no sign of lost expression or vitality; it’s compact, even mineral, thick yet snappy, long and electrically juicy.
