August 20, 2018 - Smelled like pickle juice. Blew off a little after 30 mins, but was still crappy. Tossed most of the bottle. A waste of money.
March 23, 2014 - The max score for a wine with major flaws. I rate it instead of pressing the flawed button because 9 of 10 bottles were flawed, clearly on purpose. It was actually putrified. Abe Schoener, if you don't want to use sulfur, you can use ultraviolet light. At least wash your hands.
January 20, 2013 - thick limey peachskins.
January 11, 2013 - Pale gold, straw in color. Nose of soft spice -- not a lot of gewurtz spice, but some clove and cinnamon. Over whelming impression at the outset is oily. Petroleum, mouth filling, citrus and ripe fruit, with more oil. Not your classic Alsatian gewurtz, but well made and (as all of Abe's wines) always interesting.
January 11, 2013 - Pale gold. straw color. Nose of soft spices. Overwhelming first impression on the palate is oily. Petroleum, white fruit, citrus spice and oil. Well made and asalways with Abe's wines, interesting.
July 5, 2012 - Enjoyed with dinner at Thirty Acres in JC. Wine a nice complement to the flavorful menu. Nice a refreshing on a very hot (97+ degree) day.
June 30, 2012 - Nose of apples. First taste is sweet almost honey-like, dissolving into slightly spicier sweetness and then minerality, with a slight bite at the end. Excellent.
February 5, 2012 - Very aromatic, with lime, lychee, and wet rocks. A bit thin/hot on the palate, but still complex and enjoyable- green apple, grass, a hint of lychee and citrus. Nice acidity and just a touch of sweetness. I will have to get another bottle to try with some age.
October 22, 2011 - BerserkerFest NYC (Peking Duck House, NYC): liked the nose better than the palate. it did develop some with air
