Wine Review: This very pale yellow colored Riesling opens with a wet stone bouquet with a hint of lime. On the palate, this wine is semi-dry, juicy, and slightly acidic. The flavor profile is a tangy ripe lime with notes of green apple, tangerine, and a touch of minerality. The finish is semi-dry and pleasant. This Riesling is for readers who like a semi-dry-styled Riesling, even though it is labeled "Dry". It would pair well with ham based dishes. Enjoy - Ken
