($18):  The trend over the years among top German producers has been to simplify the label by omitting the village and vineyard and just informing the consumer of the region.  Fortunately in this instance, Knyphausen has not simplified the wine.  It’s a classic Rheingau Riesling, lacey with captivating flavors of ripe white peaches and enough acidity to balance its fruitiness.  An easy choice as an aperitif, it goes well with spiced dishes or wasabi touched sushi. 90 Michael Apstein Oct 9, 2012
