$20, 11.5%. Small lemon nose, grapefruite palate, simple. Good.

$16. Sweet-Tart, again with the simple. Medium length finish redeems it somewhat. Good+.

$15.50. Rich, broad, needs a bit of acid but this one is at least interesting. Those who don't like acid would enjoy it even more than I did. Good+.

$14. Nearly dry. Like the Vollrads, rather monochromatic grapefruit, no pizzaz. Absolutely no faults in these wines. Good.

$16.50. Melon, open and friendly, Good+.

$18.50. Spritzig. Floral nose, crystalline, pretty, good acid. Finally, something that's my style. However the value is not as good as I would like. Very Good.

$15. Whoosh! One of the first wines I've had that's all middle, no entry or finish. It's literally not there, suddenly present for a moment, then gone. Weird. Good.

$15. Sulphurous. Rich for a Kabinett, but marred by an alcoholic burn. Good+.

$17.50. Straightforward pollen and melon, medium finish. Good+.

$19.50. Sweet, light on its feet, melony, good grip. Very Good.

$26.50. Sweet. Sweet-tarty, grapefruit. The additional sugar helps. Good+.

$57. There is some greatness here, with a longer finish it would be excellent. Rarely does a wine soar from sweet to tart and back, practically telling a story. Of course, for sixty bucks, it should tuck you in at night. Very Good+.

$71. Apple cider, sweet and fun, finishes short for an Auslese. Just Good+.

12.5%, $16. L-NO. 04/1. 100% spätburgunder/pinot noir from Solter's estate holdings. (I think Dade said he has 2 hectares?). While Herr Solter makes Sekt on contract for numerous growers in the Rheingau, this is his from grape to bottle. Nearly orange in color. Lovely, potpourri aromas, vinous, with tiny bubbles. A hint of dirty barrel (another taster said it was "dirty"), but this sparkler tastes like a real wine and has great structure to boot. A terrific value! Very Good+.

9.5%. A bonus bottle with a less than intact cork and/or fill level, shows all kinds of tertiary aromas, completely mature. Very Good+.
