So, Robert, are the no-SO2 wines dry? Does he sterile filter them? How does it all work?

Yes they are dry. Not 100% sure if he filters them but my guess is that he does. They do have a very slight nutty, oxidative, unami character but still very fresh and lively.

great pix, Robert.
Great raw material in the Nahe indeed this year, and it doesn't hurt that the three guys you appear to have visited know what they are doing, no? Did you try the November 27th Eiswein? :-)

Watch out for the J.B. Becker wines when they hit NYC. Amazing wines that have only once before been imported and they have lots of older stock.

who will bring JBB in? one of my favorites

I did not try the Eiswein. Yes the top producers in the Nahe are making amazing wine in every vintage.

I like Weiser-Kunstler in 2013. The 2006 Kabinett is nice now, as is the 2008 Spatlese from magnum.
