This was a lovely dry Riesling from Seneca Lake, which is called the Banana Belt due to its microclimate of being a couple of degrees warmer thus producing more "tropical" fruit. Pure flavors of mandarin and mango, zest and exotic flavors with a little prickle on the palate. But what really impressed me was the fact I vacuum sealed it and five days later it was still in great shape. Impressive! Sample. Retail Price USD $15.

Almost clear in color with the slightest golden hue. Medium nose with subtle hints of grapefruit and vodka. Very thick on the palate, but a classic Dry Riesling throughout. Rather short finish, but very nice.

I'm not a finger lakes expert but this is very nice. Sweet but not too sweet with a bit of zest. Great inexpensive wine to serve with Chinese food.
