2021 J.B. Becker Wallufer Berg Bildstock Riesling Auslese Rheingau, Germany
$60.00
Hans Josef says to me, "This is the Yquem of the Rheingau." And, again, a few lights go off and I understand a little more what he is seeking, the context in which an Auslese like this should be seen. This is a lovely, lovely wine, honeyed yet soaring, with restraint and acidity... and yes, some plush ribbons of alcohol and texture. - Vom Boden

A Trip to Germany
In July I went to Germany for the first time, spending almost the entire trip in the Mosel – seeing places I’ve only read about, connecting familiar faces to their home turf and, celebrating 10 years of inspired work by importer vom Boden.
With a swath of German new arrivals landing, too, it felt like a good time to reflect on the 2022 vintage, share some takeaways from the trip and share details on our next in-person event. - Chris
