I spent the better part of three hours last Friday evening sampling 12 wines from Manfred Krankl's amazing winery Sine Qua Non. If you haven't had the opportunity to drink these fantastic cult wines you need to get you hands on some. When it comes to wine making Manfred is a true genius. We sampled the following:

 White Flight                    04 Rejuvenator               05 Petition                    

 Pinot Flight                     04 Covert Fingers           05 Over and Out          

Grenache Flight               04 Into the Dark              05 Atlantis 1A              

Syrah Flight                    02 Just for the Love of It   03 Papa                        

                                     04 Poker Face                  05 Atlantis 2B

Desert Flight                  01 Straw Man                                                        

My favorites of the night were the 04 Poker Face, 04 Into the Dark, 05 Over and Out and 01 Straw Man. I am amazed that one man can turn out so much great wine with grapes from various sources. Manfred is true artist when it comes to wine.
