WTN: sometimes the Leitz all shining on me

Leitz 2015 Rheingau Riesling Trocken "Eins Zwei Dry."

Now this is a trocken Riesling I can get behind. Compared to the Beurer from last week, it's gentler, and seems to hover right on the edge of dry. White flowers, citrus, and just a hint of riper stone fruit, nicely focused without being painfully sharp, and with just the right weight for its aromatic palette. Holds up very well to spice. And at $16.00, a steal.

And it is the perfect wine to drink while listening to The Wall. ;)

I thought Leitz was in Rüdesheim, not Worms.

Do not keep them for too long! When the Leitz gone out is a sad story. Ask Ziggy Marley!
