Finger Lakes Dry Riesling 2022

Love it as always; seems to be getting richer each year, perhaps at the expense of elegance, but still one of America’s great value wines. — 6 months ago

No. 239 Finger Lakes Single Vineyard Dry Riesling 2017

What a great winery. Pale straw color. Aroma of pears! ( and green apples and minerals) initial taste of crisp pears , green apples and citrus. A DRY Riesling that is not at all sweet but not dry. A creaminess one is he back. Flavors intensify as it warms. Fantastic on a hot day. — 4 years ago

Ovid Line North Medium Dry Riesling 2017

Perfect for a chill December afternoon, great with charcuterie, especially a well-aged, clothbound cheddar, it's crystalline texture makes a great pairing. No new wine notes on this today. — 4 years ago

Wait...is that ice? Can’t you just set it outside for above 20-30 minutes this time if year? 😂

You're very astute 🤯 in observation, yes. It's ~40°F and lightly rainy today, I'm impatient so ice bath gets us to temp faster than the outside air. 🤪

Very aromatic on the nose with yellow peach, apricot, chamomile, tangerine, and just a slight hint of petrol. Fuller than expected, the palate is quite textured with bright vivid acidity. There is subtle sweetness on the long finish.
Great QPR.
