WTN: 1 Riesling, 2 non-Champagne bubblies

NV Babot Extra Brut Cava
Crisp, austere, with an unusual miso-y note on nose. Different, ok, and hey I paid $1. B-

NV Pinon Non Dose Vouvray
Yeast, green apple, grapefruit. Modest petillance, bright acids,tasty. Good with roast chicken, B+/B

2015 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Kabinett
At first I thought this a little soft and sweet, but maybe it just wasn't cold enough (I poured and left my glass out for a while). As I had seconds, a much perkier wine. Good acids, white nectarines and tart apple, a long minerally finish. Pretty but not delicate wine. Tasty with fish tacos. B+/A-

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

Still early yet, but overall I have found the few 2015s I have had to be fairly big wines with good but not bracing acidity. Haven't yet had anything that makes me embrace the hype.

I haven't tried many, liked them all, not wowwed yet. But I just got some that I'm eager to try (Willi S Domprobst Kab, Merkelbach UW Spat, etc).
This had good acid, but not 2010 ish. To me 2001 remains my ideal, will see how others stack up.

2015 Lieser I opened last night came close to the hype.

The Lieser entry level Riesling Kabinett is here.
