RIESLING
We carry over 136 wines from California!

Because of both its cellar longevity and its ability to maintain varietal identity while reflecting the individuality of its terroir, Riesling may be the best of all the white wine grapes. Riesling has a powerful and distinctive floral and apple-like aroma that frequently mixes in mineral elements from its vineyard source and is often described as "racy." Its high natural level of Tartaric acid enables it to balance even high levels of residual sugar. The light, delicately sweet flavor of simple pan-fried-in-butter trout is especially good with Riesling.

fine RIESLING choices...

Loredona 2008 Riesling

Loredona Riesling
$9.99
The 2008 Loredona Riesling offers delicate aromas of lychee, asian pear, citrus blossom, and a touch of honey. On the palate, complex layers of ripe apricot mingle with lemon-lime, structured by a light minerality. The wine shows nice, refreshing acidity, finishing with a pleasant tartness that lingers on the palate. Loredona Riesling is a great match with Asian dishes, seafood chowders and bisques and fresh fruit such as apples, peaches and pears.

Leitz Drangonstone 2008Leitz Drangonsone
90 Points Robert Parker
$15.99
Smells of cherry cider laced with orange peel and mulling spices. The palate impression is as frisky bright and dynamic as both the vintage and preceding editions of this wine would lead one to expect. Apple cherry lime and orange all inform a scintillatingly bright sizzlingly spicy and unabashedly sweet finish. This little study in fruit saturation and vim and vigor.

Kendall Jackson Vintners 2008Kendall Jackson Vintners Reserve
$12.99
90 Points Robert Parker
Not really dry, this Riesling has an official residual sugar reading of 2.11. It's blended with Gewürztraminer, Muscat Canelli, Chardonnay and Viognier. This end result is fruity and spicy, with flavors of honey-splashed apples, citrus fruits and peaches.

Oceana RieslingOceana Riesling
$10.99
Enticing, fragrant aromas of ripe fig and peaches accented by hints of citrus and lovely honeysuckle.  On the graceful palate, the wine's bright key lime pie and peach flavors are
heightened by a refreshing minerality that lingers through the crisp finish.
