Hermann Dönnhoff Felsentürmchen Spätlese
2006 | 100% Riesling | Nahe, Germany
The man actually used the word "whiskery". Can you believe that?

2008 | 100% Riesling | Rheingau, Germany | map
Tried to think of a witty reference to blind tasting when the "leitz" go out, but why bother? Just leave 'em on so you can find this bottle.

2007 | 100% Riesling | Nahe, Germany
"Apples and herbs and sweet grasses and flint; this has it all, wry and grinning and fleshy and fibrous and vaporous and long; a panna cotta of violets and stones" ....crunch crunch crunch....

Weingut Bruder Dr. Becker Scheurebe Kabinett
2006 | 100% Scheurebe | Rheinhessen, Germany | map
Doctor Becker knows what ails you, and he's writing you a prescription for a tall cold glass of this supple yet simple scheurebe. Just say it with me now... it rhymes with "shure, baby".

Weingut Jakob Schneider Niederhauser Hermannshohle Auslese
2007 | 100% Riesling | Nahe, Germany
"It’s church-organ and stained glass and old trees and elegiac poetry and a dozen herbs that only grow in the deep shade of ancient forests..." Yeah, we all miss the sixties, man.

Winzergenossenschaft Auggen Gertie & Max
2007 | 100% Gutedel | Bereich Markgräflerland, Baden, Germany | map
Those beasts on the label are actually pygmy bavarian fruit bears. Not, as is commonly said, mice. No self respecting German would put a couple of cutesy tootsy mice on a bottle of seriously good wine.
