Weingut Tesch ~ Riesling St. Remigiusberg, 2018
A lean and enjoyable Riesling. Peach and pebble in the nose. Playful and juicy taste. Not overly complex, but still a solid choice.
Cheers

Went well with Easter dinner of standing rib roast.
I’ll just say it’s interesting. My wife ordered 6 bottles of this in a 12 bottle order. I’m looking forward to some of the more traditional red blends from Williamson.
We’re getting into these tonight
G.D. Vajra Dolcetto d’Alba 2022
Offered at an American small plates place locally. Interesting bottle. I wasn't ready for the bit of tartness after the initial fruit. Light with a short finish. Summertime red.

Meo Camuzet, Bourgogne, 2010
Pine needle. Dark berries, sour cherry.
Juicy in the mouth, again blackberry and sour cherries. Medium body. Playful. Not particularly complex, but boy, what a pure fruit. This entry level Pinot shows it's origin. Nice and delicate finish.
The contents of this bottle will evaporate pretty quickly...
Cheers!
Did you turn it again tonight? I’d be interested to hear if it changed much after the first night (if it survived past that even!)
We had five people partaking, so it didn’t make it past Saturday.

Luis Pato ~ Bical/Cercial Sercialinho VV, 2018
A beautiful cuvee made of old vines. Ripe melon, black current, some fennel in the nose; juicy fuit intermixed with earthy notes. Ripe acidity, some bitter tones in the aftertaste, but that impression added some complexity.
We did a tour of the Kamptal northwest of Vienna and known for Grüner Veltliner as well as first class Rieslings. Sky was a bit overcast but the tastings were great. Unfortunately they had late frosts that hit the higher slopes hard so we will see a much reduced 2024 harvest from this region.

Not many wine drinkers here or at least many posting. I'm on a limited alcohol diet these days and am missing my reds terribly. Want to live vicariously through you folks.

A lovely mature Riesling. Green apple and stone fruits on the nose. Vivid, complex attack with apples, minerals, orange, grapefruit peel and a fine dose of sugar (but still a dry wine, make no mistake). Long, characterful finish. Excellent Riesling from the German wine region Palatinate.
Cheers!
This sounds like something my wife would enjoy. She loves Gewurztraminer, as she loves the spiciness of the grapefruit notes. This sounds like it may be similar.View attachment 1877933Weingut Dr. Bürklin-Wolf ~ Wachenheim Gerümpel, Riesling 2012

This Riesling had a lot of crispyness to offer, but it's not been a solely tart wine. It featured a lot of "fruit charm", if you will.
Beautiful juice.
Second label of Alpha Omega, drinking with some salmon and mediterranean couscous salad tonight
