Anton Bauer Riesling 2007

Berg Vineyard, Wagram appellation. Palest yellow with lychee and chalk dust. A hint of ginger leads to green apple and refined peach on the finish. Unlike German rieslings, this one is subtle, not sweet and delicious.

A Diehl Riesling 2007

From Pfalz, Germany. This wine Arik calles a "porch pounder". Mineral and citrus-scented this wine is only 11% alcohol. Creamy with lychee and finishes with a nice light honeyed citrus flavor.

August Cellars 2007 Riesling

Yakima Valley Washington. Very likeable dry-style with lychee fruit and cream front and drier mineral back. Reminds me of a chenin blanc. Another different stylistic approach, which is definitely a nice alternative to pricier German rieslings.
