I've been drinking them since the spring and have gone back and forth on my preferences but always enjoyed myself.
The Mauer Wein is always so intense, pungent, and glorious, although it can tilt wild and loose. The Goldenes Loch is much more understated but with enough air usually becomes the more dazzling display of elegance and poise. On this last go round it didn't quite run enough to hit those heights and I was more taken with the easy pleasures of the Mauer Wein.
In an ideal world I'd follow them both over many years and wouldn't worry about which one was 'better'. But they're not sold in the US (to my knowledge) so I will have to wait for my next German connection.

Johann Peter Reinert, 7.5%, £15.00
Medium pale gold. Rather dumb. Medium high. Very sweet, to the extent that it is. I would give this the benefit of the doubt and say it needs more time, but I score on current enjoyment, so **

I wasn't that impressed though I haven't really enjoyed anything I have tried from Ste Michelle unfortunately. Anyone have a similar (or opposite) experience? I just moved to Washington so I am really trying to support the locals.

A few producers have put lower pradikats/entry level wines under screwcap, but it's incredibly annoying that very few high end wines come with a guarantee they won't be corked.
Particularly grumpy about this after a 2005 Schmitt-Wagner Spatlese was corked last night.

Thank you for the notes. I've never had the Schloss Neuweier wines - is there a NY area importer?
