Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling 2019

 


Gentle straw hue with aromas of a melange of citrusy fruit mixed with tropical fruit compote and the characteristic "oily" sweet aroma underlying it all.

Palate--Lovely first impression with razor sharp acidity, carrying a delightful compote of tropical fruit salad, with green melon, lemons and limes, mango and stone fruit. 

This is a LOVELY Washington State example of the most under appreciated wine grape in the world. It is fantastic chilled down on a hot summer day or a lovely pairing wine with butter rich sauces and seafood.  Grab some Maine lobsters and steamers, with a bath of butter and you'll think you died and gone to heaven. 

At $12 this is a super value so raise a glass and then a bottle!

We've moved!

After a few year hiatus from my "real" wine blog, you can now find my reviews at the winecask.blogspot.com  I started this blog many years ago and was ranked the #8 wine blog on the world wide web.  I am a regular guy with a very limited wallet so I drink what you drink with rare exceptions. So scoot on over there, follow me if you want short, no non sense wine info.  Raise a glass!

Barrel Heist Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

  Lighter hued cranberry color with aromas of sweet red berries and dried red fruit with a touch of spice.      Palate--Fruit forward, easy to quaff with soft tannins, and a simple pleasant all around red.  Just don't confuse this with a "real" cabernet Sauvignon.  At $7 (Trader Joe's) let's get real... It's better than two buck chuck!

Emma Reichart Gewürztraminer 2020

*Label is for their Riesling not their Gewurztraminer Pale straw hue with loads of sweet aromas consisting of vanilla, citrus, tropical fruit with a lime splash. Palate--mouth watering acid, mouth filling tropical fruit, lime base, with sweet-tart freshness  This $10 Gewürztraminer literally "Spicy Traminer" is one of my favorite German grapes and under appreciated much in the way German Riesling is. If you can get past the name, it's a lovely wine that pairs with Asian foods, spicy foods, or all by itself so raise a glass!
