The Germans use words like Trocken (dry) or Süss (sweet) in their wine names to tip off consumers. Today’s wine is no exception. This is the Single Post Kabinett Riesling. Kabinett means it’s a wine of German origin that is of Reserve or Superior quality and made in a lighter style. It’s perfect for a refreshing style of Riesling made to be drunk young.
Today’s Riesling is an exceptional Kabinett Riesling, made by one of Germany’s renowned winemakers, Nik Weiss (St. Urbans Hof). Nik’s Kabinett Rieslings manage to stay light and fresh yet still comes through with juicy, clean fruit with a wonderful acidic backbone that can stand up to food.
This one really impressed me and that was before I even knew the price. With the added information, this quickly becomes one of the best value white wines we’ll be able to offer up all year. It first hits you with a ton of fruit suggesting that it’s sweet – but that’s met with a ton of white grapefruit acidity and minerality that actually makes you realize it’s a dry Riesling – just with some flair.
Wine Enthusiast has designated this one a ‘Best Buy’ as they usually do and gave it a 90-point review where they deemed this, “thirst quenching, juicy and reverberating”. I’m not going to argue with any of that. That’s right on the money.

90 Points (Best Buy), Wine Enthusiast
“Penetrating tangerine and lemon flavors are etched with hints of caramel and saffron in this thirst quenching, delicately sweet Riesling. Light bodied and lean, yet juicy and reverberating, it’s a fresh-fruited, value white to accompany soft cheeses and white meats.”

Every year, Pierre Sparr’s Alsacian Riesling is one of the top scoring wines in the under $20 category. There’s a consistency there and consumers know they can count on a Riesling that is aromatic, fruity, elegant, clean and vibrant. Pierre Sparr wines are extremely food-friendly especially in the widely praised 2021 vintage where quality rose to an all-time high. It’s a bone-dry beauty with layers of citrus fruits, framed by wet stone and mineral character that adds dimension.
It’s hard to beat a great value white wine and this one is a at least a cut above the rest. One prominant industry insider called the 2022 edition, “the best white wine by any within $20/cs of this price.” It’s super crisp with a great mineral streak, and was carefully picked by hand when the temperature is coolest and is kept cool all the way into the press. From there, the effect of the mineral soil takes over, providing great finesse and freshness in every bottle. This white blend has great backbone and a lot of juicy fruit coming through behind aromas of flowers and stone fruits. At this price, it’s a no brainer.
Gold Medal (Best in Show), 2023 Mundus Vini International Tasting
The area has also been isolated from the rest of Spain for generations, which has kept the wine prices far lower than wines of this quality would be anywhere else in the world. That’s why, despite having the Torres family name on the bottle and the consistent huge press (including the Gold Medal & Best in Show at the 2023 Mundus Vini International Wine Awards in Germany), these wines can still be scooped up for under $20/bottle. It’s like the Sancerre pricing of yesteryear.
For years now, I’ve been absolutely delighted by the White Burgundies at Domaine Corsin. There’s really good reason for that. The Corsin’s holdings in Pouilly-Fuissé include many of the best situated sites in the appellation. This wine comes from a selection of older vines grown in these limestone soils. The current vintage is simply showing fantastic at the moment. The 2020 Corsin Domain’s Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Vieilles Vignes’ displays a bright golden hue with a hint of green. Its subtle bouquet with a woody-vanilla note enhances the slightly sharp, sophisticated fullness on the palate mingled with a generous underlying impression of toasted bread.
