Saw these tartrate crystals on the cork and well as really fine ones gleaming on the bottom of my glass. First time I've seen them in a white wine and thought it looked neat.

    Obligatory notes:

    2015 Hermann J Wiemer Magdalena Vineyard Riesling

    Notes of petrol, honey, lemon zest, and tropical fruit on the nose. All confirmed by taste with the addition of a really fine saline note. A nice round mouth feel that suggests a higher RS than it actually has. 10 years in drinking really well with potential for further upside. 94 points.

    Damn you drank it after seeing that, brave /s

  3. I saw white wine diamonds for the first time. I had only seen red ones before.

    I see those once in a while, especially on wines with good acidity that have been chilled. Glad you didn’t freak out about it!
