Tried these two w/ Susan this weekend:
1. G&M Machmer GWT Spatlese Bechtheimer/Rheinhessen (12%; WineSellers/Niles/IL) G&M Mechmer/Bechtheim/Rheinhessen 2021: Light yellow color w/ tons of tiny bubbles that dissapate; strong floral/GWT/some hair oil rather spicy/nutmeg/cinammon fairly ripe/lush pleasant enough nose; strong floral/GWT rather spicy/nutmeg fairly ripe/lush slightly sweet rather mild-mannered flavor; med.long GWT/spicy/cinammon finish that tracks flavor; a rather quiet/mild-mannered GWT at an attractive price but a bit too sweet for my tastes $17.00 (KK)

More stickleburq from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. I really liked the Riffault Rose. I generally many of the PN Roses on the lean/eviscerated/austere side. But this was not & showed a lot of richness for a PN Rose.
