I selected this at Costco on the virtue of its cool bottle. It has a clear window on the front that frames a portrait of a mountain road that is on the other side of the bottle but inside it so that you look through the wine to see the portrait…

This barely fits under my $20 limit if you double it to a normal 750 ml bottle but I wanted to try out a real dessert wine. This is a Riesling that sat on the vine longer than normal and got sweeter than normal…

Has that Riesling aroma that I always describe as “apple” but I’m not sure that’s what it is…

Has a light straw color and it smells a little sweet but doesn’t generate much of an aroma at all. It does have a bit of a sweet flavor, probably because of the sugar they dump in these…

Has a tart, somewhat floral aroma. The flavor is a bit sweet and like apples that aren’t quite ripe…

Very light in color with an aroma of citrus…

This is a very nice Riesling for the price. It has scents I’d associate more with Chardonnay…

I have been drinking this particular wine every year since the 1998 vintage and it never fails to deliver…

Despite the fact that I primarily drink red wine, I do love a good Riesling. And as you might guess, I’ll enjoy a mediocre one as well. My brother and his wife drink red wine exclusively and to introduce them to whites…

Nice color, smells of apricots and maybe figs or dates. Nice full flavor with some tangy notes on the end…
