  Last week, I sat for three hours with Manni Nossing in his home and tasted through Kerners, Sylvaners, Gruners, and Muller Thurgous dating back to 2014 and through to the 2018s (set to bottle the next day). Manni has a style. Always crisp and green and even when fruit peeks through, it’s usually lean sour grapefruit and firm apricots. He is a mumbling jolly gentle giant with a great sense of humor. This 2014 Kerner was my favorite we tasted and he let me take the bottle for dinner that night. It has mysterious green herbal notes and high acid. Silver green lining, thyme, and lime.

  Pale yellow. Nice acidity. Long mineral finish.

  Restrained but clear nose of ripe yellow apples, bit of white flowers. Fairly broad and lush, though not heavy. Apple flavors and pleasant acidity. Would be nice Thanksgiving wine.

  This has been a week for trying quite a few new wines, so why not one more. Not a lot of experience with Kerner, so flying a little blind. Bit of a cross between Gewurz and Viognier, with some of the Viognier florals and density, and a touch of Gewurz-like spice, with intensity and depth to spare; there's enough acidity for balance, and a streak of minerality weaving in and out, with some nice umami savoriness on the finish. I could drink this a lot more often. Let me give thanks to the folks who drink $300 Grand Cru white Burgundy, and leave these beautiful $30 bottles for me.
