Rudi Wiest is one of the leading importers of German wines into this market..
Becker Pinot Noir Pfalz 2008.. germany produces a lot of pinot noir...2nd only to france so they say.. and some of these vineyards were part of france? I know from the 1870's through the end of WW 2 these lands changed hands a couple of times..anyway a nice wine..pleasant if a little pedesterian. gives a good impression of value pinot noir
Hooked Riesling Germany 2008... uneventful wine.. cute label.. would like more acidity and fruit
Monchoff (pronounced Mon-koff) Riesling Mosel 2010 light colored full bodied with good unctiousness. missing some of the nervosity...probably too hot outside to allow that to show well.. some of the wines even had a effervescence that was not supposed to be there.
Monchoff Spatlese Mosel Slate 2010 a bright straw color.. sweet nose white flowers and pumpkin spice? still missing some of the acidity.
Gunderloch Jean Baptiste Riesling Rheinhessen 2009 green apple and green apple.. and green apple.. good fruit.. not a long finish..but pleasant enough.. not overly sweet just fruity
JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich 2007 grown on blue slate and that shows in the nose.. petrol and roses.. with petrol winning.. very viscous and unctious.. heat still showing.. some tropical fruit on the finish... climate change may be giving these wines more sunshine but I feel some acidity is being lost ...again the heat outside on tasting these does not help show acid at all
