January 22, 2017 - Very nice Feinherb, half dry Riesling from Geil. Drier than most Feinherbs that I've had while living in Germany. Great with food! A 'buy again' wine for certain.

By Terry Theise
2012 German Catalog, 6/1/2012 (link)(Geil Bechtheimer Geyersberg Riesling Spätlese Feinherb) ($21.00) HARD-CORE LIST for this beauty. For it is a perfect dry Riesling, i.e., with 11g/l RS (about like Vilmart’s Grand Cellier) and basically you can’t possibly resist it; fennel sweated in butter, cool mutsu apples you ate from the cellar, underlying stones and ciabatta dough. Geils have some push-back from domestic customers – it isn’t dry enough. Idiots! It’s perfectly, beautifully dry enough. +
