Joel Gott Riesling 2010

Image Source: Amazon.com
At a September wine tasting seminar at The Curious Grape in Arlington, VA I had a chance to pick up a bottle of 2010 Joel Gott Riesling from Washington State (Columbia Valley), but hadn't had a chance to open it until this week. Oh. Em. Gee. What on earth was I waiting for, and mark it down I need to buy some more of this stuff.

Retailing for about $13, it's rated at 89 Points on Wine Spectator magazine's scales, for good reason! Hands down, this is one of the best white wines I've ever had. Clean, clear, simple and fruity, it's not very sweet and yet with a low alcohol content, shouldn't be described as dry. Notes of peachy-apple and just a tiny hint of citrus make the riesling great for sipping or substantial enough to pair with a hearty meal (mine was a Parmesan shrimp risotto).

Highly recommend acquiring a bottle for yourself or as an affordable gift!
