  March 21, 2010 - A nice riesling with classic petrol/green apple/citrus flavors and some serious acidity to balance the hint of sweetness on the palate.
  I picked up this bottle from a sales bin at 6 euro. At this price point I wished I bought a few more....

  November 14, 2008 - Poured at a retailer tasting. Pale color. Lots of petrol on the bouquet, and it follows through on the palate, masking some of the fruit. It has nice acidity and a good mouthfeel, and it seemed like the petrol note might give way to the fruit with a bit more air.

  November 9, 2008 - Jason Brandt Lewis Hits The Speed Limit: Lots of blind and interesting wines inc Equinox, Westport Rivers, Tablas Creek, Do Ferreiro, etc (JBL & Lynne's pad - Berkeley Hills): This was paired against the Westport Rivers Riesling and I preferred the Westport Rivers because of it's depth and fruit forward quality. This was more about slate, glycerin with nectarine, lime and smoke than rich apricot type fruit. A fun wine but I would probably buy a German Kabinett before I buy this.

  June 13, 2008 - Fridays at Five (Gibby's Wine Den, Geneva, IL): Notes of petrol, lime and stone fruit. Stone fruit tones on the palate, with a nice medium-length finish.
