Wine Dojo blinds (SF Wine School, South San Francisco): (blind) Pale straw. Moderate intensity nose of thiolic fruit - grapefruit, passionfruit. Possible slight cream - oak. Lees stirring. Dry, 13.5% alcohol (actually 12%), high acid.
P/chilled. Clear, med straw color. Nice Riesling nose and taste. Lots of good, proper fruit, this is classic every day, German juice. Refreshing, some citrus, easy drinking, delicious and well priced. Nothing off. $18. Great pairing with cantaloupe/grapes/shrimp cocktail appetizers.

Amrillo con destellos dorados. Nariz intensa, muy cítrica, fruta con hueso y algo de fruta blanca. En boca tiene buen ataque, paso con cierta untuosidad, la acidez es excelente, sensaciones cítricas y matices golosos de piña. Largo y muy bien perfilado. Un riesling sencillo pero muy resultón.

Riesling (SWAZ) (Zürich): Trockener als der 15er aber von den Fruchtnoten her ähnlich, mir hat der weniger adstringierende 15er besser gefallen.

Laterals
- Sancerre
- NZ Sauv Blanc
- CA Sauv Blanc
- Chilean Sauv Blanc
- Bordeaux Blanc - Entry level.
Given no pyrazines, elevated ripeness and slight oak:
2015 Bordeaux Blanc, $20, Graves, lower quality - not cru classe.
Upon tasting again - I can see faint petrol. Need to taste more ripe German wines to pick out petrol in this context.

Reift bereits richtig gut, bietet eine erste, latente und sehr erhabene Petrol-Nase, weiterhin mit frischer Säure und "weißem Tanin".
