Given the steep slopes of the region and resulting high production costs, it's a mystery to me how proprietor Nik Weis has managed to keep his wines so affordable. The least expensive of his 2005s is a great introduction to the wines of the Mosel, with surprising minerality and precision for a wine that savvy shoppers can find for as little as $10. It's crisp and clean, lightly sweet, but balanced by fine acidity. It's delicate, yet full of flavor.
