Staff Pick Notes

When I tried this wine, the winemaker was there. I felt blessed when listening to how fascinating and challenging producing wine can be and the passion winning over the struggle to bring this wine to life. Riesling, in general, has always been seductive to me, but especially the ones that have this honeyed character and notes of petrol. This Riesling "Schlossberg" is one of them. Eva Fricke, the winemaker, and her wines will linger in my memory, in awe and admiration. I really enjoyed both.
