2011 Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Kabinett Trocken, Weingut Franz Dahm ($29)
“Franz Dahm is an old-world gentleman, making gentlemanly, old-world wines tucked away in the heart of the gorgeous village of Bernkastel. I was so lucky to discover him! His wines are classic Mosel all the way: light, elegant, polished, refined.
“Bright straw with hints of green. Pear and peach combine with grappa-like essences on the nose, plus a touch of Soave-like hay. Elegant, with a long finish, highlighted by a bit of palate-rubbing structure…rendering it excellent for light grilled foods, fish especially.” – David Rosengarten
