I'm generally a lover of acid in wines but I thought the acid overpowered the flavors. It made the balance of elements out of whack. The fizzy effervescence seemed a little odd as well.

Lemongrass, petrol and slate aromas. A bracing dose of lime, wet rock and mango hits the palate. Juicy rich feel with hints of dried herb. Good length. Paired classically with Thanksgiving dinner. Could add nuance with aging.

2009 Basic German Riesling Tasting: no one thought it showed very well. Stephen found it bizarre but enjoyable, with ginger and mandarin, but he also thought it was lean and difficult. I thought it was basically a balanced wine and I liked the mandarin fruit and the acidity, but I thought it felt a bit candied. Eric and Rubén really did not like the wine. I heard things like "bland, dull, without character, too much malic acid, out of balance, short, over-cropped cheap Riesling."

Sweet lime, mandarin, and minerals. Spritzy and citrusy on the palate with lots of sweet fruit. Dry and minerally finish. Decent. 89

Green apple, lime, and tons of minerals. Dry palate with nice acidity.
