Default TN: Riesling GG and a mostly Grenache (Maury Sec)

Tuesday I took lunch to a friend whos recovering from an ortho injury. With gyros, pork souvlaki, & greek salad he opened the 2015 Cabirau "Serge & Nicolas" Maury Sec. Not sure Ive ever had dry Maury before, this was mostly Grenache with some Syrah and Carignan. Very ripe black fruits with herbs and anise, fairly low acid. No apparent oak, I wouldnt call this super-modern just concentrated and ripe, but not a style that really appeals to me, though well done. B-/B

Wednesday was an Asian influenced dinner- lime/soy flounder, rice with furikake, bok choy with shiitakes, sesame snow peas. Wine was the 2014 Kruger-Rumpf €œScharlachberg€ Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Hint of spritz on opening. Ripe almost tropical fruit, with an interesting orange cremesicle/vanilla note (though a dry wine). Good balanced, long slatey finish, fun stuff. B+/A-

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
