  My first Finger Lakes Riesling and although nice, for the same price (~€30) you have much, much better GG’s from Germany.
  Very tight on opening and after 3 days open still feels tight. Deep golden yellow with a bit of petrol, yellow apple, stone fruit, honey. A bit one dimensional, lacks the depth and complexity

  Really great QPR. I have not experienced much riesling from the Finger Lakes even though it is nearby...but I will plan to get to Forge for sure now. A deeper, golden hue than I am used to for riesling; mineral / lime rock on the nose followed by lemon; carrying through with more mineral, lemon, and pear on the palate; very dry with a nice acidity on the finish.

  Rich and complex Riesling with off-the-charts QPR. Bone dry and minerally with pear and tropical notes and bracing acidity. Long finish.

  That perfumed limey on the nose. Smells delicious to me. Has a touch more RS than I thought.
