(Hiedler Riesling "Urgestein") ($29.00) Starts with an odd oyster-mushroomy aroma, maybe botrytis? A screw-cap wine that even hints at TCA, but this blows off dramatically with air. It becomes the limey lioness we know and love, and it’s fervently green and expressive, with its extract density and rock powder and enokis. So why even mention the dubious first impression? (That’s not how to sell wine, ya know.) Because if its also your first impression, you’re not crazy and the wine gets way better.

Austrian Riesling Wine Tasting (City Winery - Chicago, IL): Decent juice, but lacked the punch or complexity to make it really memorable.
