More zisserflic from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. I generally like the wines of Ryan Stirm. He focuses on central coast Riesling and does it very well. Jehan is an unknown to me but worls at a number of different capacities in the wine biz.
This wine is a natural wine but shows no unclean/natty character whatsoever. It's a pleasant Vin de Soif butittle more than that.
We also had a Orin Swift RRV SauvBlanc that was not worth writing a TN on.
