Across the US warmer weather is here. That calls for lighter wines, so we turn to the "King of White Wines."
Grant Burge 2002 Riesling Thorn Eden Valley
This wine features juicy, citrus aromas and flavors. The zesty acidity works well with hints of honeysuckle. There is a lovely dry finish. A great buy at $20.
Yalumba 2003 Y Series Riesling
Don't let the screw cap fool you. This is a great wine, at a great price. It features the classic grapefruit, lemon, and lime flavors and aromas. The gooseberry flavors on the finish add to the appeal. It is visually appealing as well, with a honesuckle gold color. This is an off dry wine that will please a wide variety of people. An absolute steal for about $10.
Bonny Doon 2003 Pacific Rim Dry Riesling
I recently drank this wine at a Japanese themed dinner. It was perfect with sushi! It is a crisp, fruity Riesling that offers honeysuckle and soft citrus flavors. Through it all are hints of peaches. Don't let the talk of fruit fool you, this is a dry wine. Don't be put off by the screwcap either. This too is a great buy for $11.
