2004 Kerpen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Mosel-Saar-Ruwer Riesling Kabinett (Middle Mosel, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany) cork closure, 8.5% - imported to USA by Boston Wine Company, Somerville, Massachusetts - this wine was pretty vile, smelled nice of earth and citrus, but the taste was really jumbled tropical hawaiian punch with discombobulated acid, thick unfocused texture, and a complete lack of focus. What a mess
2008 Loosen Bros Mosel Riesling Dr. L (Mosel, Germany) screwcap closure, 8.5% - imported by Classic Wine Imports, Norwood, Massachusetts - smell expressive lime and stone, very obvious nose, taste huge spritz, lemon-limeade, tangy, zip feels a bit forced, but let's be honest, it's in the 90s and the wine is refreshing, there isn't much structure or anything like that, but it's refreshing and I'd drink it again for that purpose
2007 Villa Matilde Campania Falanghina Rocca dei Leoni (Campania IGT, southern Italy) synthetic stopper, 12.5% - imported to USA by Empson, Alexandria, Virginia - fairly refreshing with good focus, solid fruit but dry side, solid flavor, pairs very well with fish and with food in general, nothing profound, but solid bottle of good summer wine
N.V. Gruet Brut Rosé (New Mexico, southwestern USA) mushroom cork - appears salmon, smell floral, sweet and salty, slight chalk, mouthfeel big loose bubbles, very loose feel, taste hotter side, overly powerful, feels completely overblown and lacks any refreshing qualities, pairs poorly with food, did not care for this wine at all, does not justify its $15 pricetag
