July 22, 2023 - A great Riesling from Leitz, perfect acidity for glass noodles with Asian shrimp salad, lime, fish sauce, sambal oelek, ginger. Will hold for at least 5 more years.

July 26, 2022 - Nice wine dinner where all the wines were very good, all are basically in their drinking windows.
Numanthia 2013 needed about 1 - 2 hours before it felt fully integrated, very nice Tempranillo from D.O Toro.
Phil Lane 2014 from K Vintners was right in the window the best wine of the evening along with Leitz. What a Syrah, ripe notes with lovely blackberries and some meaty notes, green olives.
Leitz Berg Kaisersteinfels Riesling GG 2017 was the evening's winner together with Phil Lane, what razor-sharp acidity and wonderful fruit, will be even better with a few more years on the neck.
The disappointment of the evening was By Farr Tout Pres 2015, have been drinking many By Farr, a favorite from Geelong in Victoria, Australia. But the normally fine minerality was not there (typical limestone), felt a bit tired (bottle variety!?). -

January 9, 2022 - This has now fleshed out a bit and added some nice complexity. Drinking nicely right now.

November 23, 2021 - Golden yellow, serious and complex Riesling trocken from Weingut Leitz.
The Rüdesheimer Berg Kaisersteinfels vintage 2017 has a long life ahead but is really good now already with some matching food. -
