Hoffmann Simon Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese 2011, Prädikatswein

Much sweeter than I expected for a Spatlese, but excellent wine with a great depth and finish. Tasted March 2013.

Schild Estate Shiraz 2010, Barossa, South Australia

Great Shiraz but the price shows that you don't get good Shiraz under $20 anymore. Great wine for those that love dark, full-bodied Aussie Shiraz. Tasted December 2013.

Poggio Verrano Dròmos 2005, Igt Maremma Toscana

Beautiful Super Tuscan. A good hour or two of decanting really helps. Tasted October 2016.

Domaine De La Charbonnière Châteauneuf Du Pape 2013

Great wine for special occasions that did not require much decanting. Was great right upon opening. Tasted December 2017.

Allegrini La Grola 2019, Sustainable, Igt Veronese

Schloss Vollrads Riesling Spätlese 2005, Qmp, Oestrich Winkel

Very nice Riesling. Quite sweet and went perfectly with Asian spicy food. Tasted January 2012.

Nicely preserved after 15 years in the bottle. Outstanding ice wine with great length. Tasted November 2019.

Château Saint Roch De Laurens 2007, Ac Faugères

Excellent medium body GSM wine with very smooth tannins, very typical of the Languedoc Roussillon region of southeast France. More complexity than you would expect for this price. Tasted April 2012.
