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.”

Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.
95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
“The 2018 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard marks the beginning of winemaker Joe Nielsen’s tenure at the winery. Pouring a medium yellow with a light golden hue, it’s most reserved of the flight aromatically at the moment, with yellow chamomile flowers, ripe peach, beeswax, and white flowers. Full-bodied, it retains excellent tension and focus on the palate, with apricot, orange zest, and a savory finish with a bit of spice. I suspect this will come around and open with time. Drink 2024-2030.” -Jeb Dunnuck
The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.
2022 was an absolutely perfect vintage in this respect and unfortunately, I think it will be one of the last, if not THE last. As winegrower Jean-Marc Brocard reported to Decanter: “When we taste the wines, we feel that the balance between acidity and ripeness is very good. It’s a classic style of Chablis. In the end, even after such a heat during summertime, we stay in a cool year reference.” He also alluded to the ageability of the vintage, saying “Let’s give them time, we must let nature do its work.”
