More widdlewart from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. I was pretty much blown away by the Jongieux for that price. Not the best Jongieux I've had but a brisk/refreshing Jacquere that speaks of alpine white flowers. Incredible well-priced.
The Fabelhaft is a natural wine. The Germans have bee a little slow on getting into the natural wine movement, so I was interesting in seeing what they could do. Based on this one data point, not so much. It was not strongly natty but had a bit of funk to it. But the real problem was that it is one of the most vapid/bland R that I can ever recall. Speaks little of R or of the Mosel.
