Riesling

OS Winery 2005 (about $21): From red wine gurus Owen Sullivan comes this tasty white wine from Champoux Vineyards in Washington’s Horse Heaven Hills. Lots of lush pear and citrus flavors with a lengthy, creamy finish. With only about 3% residual sugar on finish, this wine is unlike many other overpoweringly syrupy-sweet Rieslings.

At 9% alcohol you can drink a lot of this, if not for the slightly high price tag. However in this case, I think it’s worth every penny. I picked up my bottle at Compass Wines in Anacortes. Limited production so don’t wait to buy this one!
