Tried these three new wines over the last week:
1. HeidiSchrock & Sohnne More Is More WW (13%; Trocken; 100% Welschriesling; LN 4806/22; SkurnikWines/NY) Weingut Schrock/Rust 2021: Pale yellow color; strong floral/carnations some chalky/mineral/perfumed talc bit R-like fairly fragrant nose; lightly tart/tangy fairly floral/carnations/perfumed talc some chalky/mineral/earthy slight tangy/metallic flavor; med.long fairly floral/carnations/earthy/mineral finish; not the high-toned character of a R nor the perfume of a GV; a pleasant enough white but just that; not particularly thrilling. $20.00/ltr (KK)

More eekyblather from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. I like the HeidiSchrock wines across the board. Always interesting & well-made. Her Furmint, for which she has been instrumental in returning to prominence in Austria, is one of the best dry Furmints around. I was surprised to see Teroldego in the Rose blend. Didn't know there was any planting of Teroldego in Austria. And, of course, her dessert wines are some of the best made in Austria.
