Last night I made pork chops with a white wine/garlic/anchovy sauce,
broccoli, shredded zucchini, and a salad; had them waiting when Betsy
got home, along with the 2007 Meulenhof Erdener Treppchen Kabinett
Riesling. OK, I've been grooving on the rather lean racy 2007
kabinetts, this isn't one. Plenty of plump sweetness, apples and
papaya, a light herby note, more big Spatlese than sprightly Kabinett.
More fruit than mineral, maybe not the style I most gravitate towards,
but a nice friendly puppy of a wine. At under$15 this is a good
value, but while I'm happy to own one more, not looking to buy more
for stylistic reasons. B

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. 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.

"Plump sweetness" indicating a soft but adequate acidity?
