thomas vogelbacher
German and thus loves his German Rieslings in every style. Also in love with everything French and Austrian. Has a complicated relationship with CA-wine. Admits that red wines can be great, whites are too expensive for the quality. Prefers mineral and elegant wines over fruit-bombs. Over all, preferred US wine region Oregon.

2008 Domaine Drouhin "Arthur" Dundee Hills Chardonnay
(out of stock)
Review Date: 6-21-2011
I agree with Doug. It is a wonderful Chardonnay, IMHO the best in Oregon, at least the best I had come across during my March "field-trip" to that region. Brilliant!

2008 Schloss Saarstein Pinot Blanc
(out of stock)
Review Date: 5-23-2011
Scott Beckerley, Pinot Blanc is very popular in Germany! Google Weissburgunder and you will learn more about Pinot Blanc in Germany...

2008 Lemelson Willamette Valley Dry Riesling
(out of stock)
Review Date: 5-23-2011
In my opinion, one of the best American rieslings I have ever tasted. Good fruit, embedded in great acidity and lovely finish. The other wines at Lemelson were very good as well.
Price: $19.99
2008 Selene "Hyde Vineyard" Carneros Sauvignon Blanc
(out of stock)
Review Date: 2-11-2011
92 by WS? I am not very impressed, Capture and Cliff Lede are way better!
Price: $29.99
2003 Konrad & Conrad "Sigrun" Noble Late Harvest Riesling Marlborough 375ml
Review Date: 1-27-2011
Reminiscent of a top-flight German Beerenauslese? I dunno. When did Parker last try a German Beerenauslese? For the price, a good wine. For 30 USD I would not bother and skip the wine. At 10 USD a pretty good deal.
Price: $9.99
2008 Brewer-Clifton "Mt. Carmel Vineyard" Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
(out of stock)
Review Date: 12-15-2010
I do not agree with the reviewers, silky is by far the least you can say about this wine! It tasted very sterile to me, none of the Burgundian "stuff" that became so famous and popular. Brewer thinks that balance matters, and yet, at 14.8 ABV, balance is there, but you cannot drink the wine, you just sip. In my humble opinion, way overrated and nothing to enjoy with friends, unless you want to be drunk soon. Same goes for their other Pinot Noirs. I prefer their Chardonnays.

2008 Cuvaison Carneros Chardonnay
(out of stock)
Review Date: 12-1-2010
I am really surprised to read that many positive reviews. I found this wine very unremarkable. Tasted like liquid marshmellows, creamy, oaky, absolutely nothing special. The third day, wine had seen some oxygen and burnt. Overall, there are better deals, at least from French or Kiwi producers. This wine does not help convince an "ABC"-wine drinker...
Price: $12.99
2009 Pacific Rim Columbia Valley Riesling
(out of stock)
Review Date: 11-26-2010
Way overrated, cannot even slightly compare to German or Alsatian offerings...
Price: $8.99
