2005 Winemakers Select Riesling

Sorry this wine is not available on wine.com but check your local grocery store or the vineyard's website

Vineyard: Snoqualimie
www.snoqualmie.com/index.cfm

Label Description:

Rich aromas of honeyed fruit with ripe apricot and softly spiced dried fruit on the palate. This luscious, regional favorite from Washington’s Columbia Valley is wonderful with fresh fruit and cheese, spicy dishes or simply to sip by the glass.

Reviews
Jill This wine is very good. It’s sweet with lots of apricot and pear flavor that is lovely enough to be enjoyed on its own although it is so versatile, that once the bottle is open, you could enjoy if for a few meals. It would be good with salads and spicy foods. I think it would be great with roasted garlic chicken and a cesar salad. I think it could also start off a Thanksgiving or Christmas meal.
Ed Sometimes Riesling can be a little too sweet for my liking so I tend to shy away from pairing them with many foods outside of light fair, fruits, and that sort of food. However, this Riesling will go well with those items and many more. I would recommend it with soups, matzo, chicken, broccoli or potato. I would also save a bottle for the next time you have pork chops with applesauce.
