Wine Review: This almost clear Riesling opens with an intriguing rose petal and gentle lychee like bouquet with a hint of petrol. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, slightly effervescent, zesty and mildly sweet. The flavor profile is a gentle tangy tangerine with a hint of lime and peach. The finish is mildly sweet and subtle, yet it lingers slightly in the background well after it is gone. This wine would pair nicely with chicken lo mein or cashew chicken. A second glass is a must on a hot day. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The Bernkasteler alte Badstube am Doctorberg Riesling Kabinett is lush and creamy in texture, with lime, vanilla, dried apricot and spice notes. The mineral component is submerged in young ages, but will surface in time. This one goes well with American fusion cuisine. Try it with Korean Tacos (filled with bulgogi and kimchi) or Korean Burritos.
