Crab cakes, grilled eggplant, leftover broccoli rabe
2020 Pinson Mont de Milieu Chablis 1er
Clean racy acids, apple fruit, some vanilla (I didn’t think Pinson used oak), went well with the food but I wouldn’t seek out. B-

Ginger/scallion chicken stirfry, sourdough discard scallion pancakes, bok choy

2015 Donnhoff Oberhauser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett
Peach and sweet pear, a little ginger, moderate acids, tasty profile but feels a little drawn into itself. Give it a little more time. B for now

2015 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett
More open (opposite of what I expected), lithe and lovely. Snappy acids, clean apple and nectarine fruit,peach blossoms,long finish. B++

Pork chops (sous vide,finished on grill), corn, salad
2005 Raphet Gevrey-Chambertin
Crunchy raspberry and cranberry fruit, a little pomegranate, herbs. Modest tannins, nice balance, no idea why I bought this but glad I did. Ready to go. B+

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.

The 2015 Germans are a mixed bag right now. I might expect them to be opening back up, but the (very) few I have tried are not.
