Staff Pick Notes

Canned wine can be.., rough to say the least. I often find that they have an oxidized or "Cooked" taste to them, so when I find a canned wine that is not only drinkable but enjoyable I consume it by the case. Leiz has done a tremendous job with this wine, I actually felt guilty drinking it out of the can because it has expressive aromatics that open up nicely in a glass. This wine jumps out at you with florality, stoney minerality, and fresh green apple notes. On the palate it is mostly dry and refreshing with a touch of fruitiness. Drink this wine either on the beach in the middle of a triple digit day, or while being lazy with salt and vinegar potato chips.

They are careful to retain the delightful honeyed, flinty flavors that the best sweet Rieslings have always displayed. Alsace, of...
