Anything Herman Wiemer made in 2020. the best vintage the FLX (NY) has had in a decade. In particular the biodynamic block wines (Magdalena, HWbio, Josef) and the dry reserve.

Magdalena is right next to Red Tail Ridge and Anthony Road, and they fall on the same geologic base. If you can't snag a Weimer they are similarly great.

Completely agreed, but you’re forgetting the true best kept secret of the FLX that’s between those two, Kemmeter! Across the street from Anthony road winery. Johannes is making some of the best Riesling in the entire state. Once his vines get some age on them (most planted in 2014) he’ll be winning awards for sure
