2005 Paradiso Riesling Santa Lucia Hills
A nice bright California Riesling that exhibits honeysuckle and pear notes, with a little bit of Asian spice, and a nice round crisp acidity. Overall this wine is a perfect aperitif with hints of wet stone on the nose, followed by a honeyed and rich texture. Good mouth-feel, and I love the lemon custard on the end. Priced around $12

2005 Barnard Griffin
White Riesling
This was a good middle of the road Riesling, priced around
$10. It was not an overly sweet wine. It had a nice level of acidity that gave some
crispness to the initial taste. It is a
good summer wine with flavors of Anjou
pear, crisp apple, and cinnamon spice. The
end of the finish was not perfect and had a touch of bitterness. However, overall it was not a bad wine for the
price.
