I know a lot of great wines. But you wouldn't have heard of them. My job at a wine store means that I taste a lot of obscure wines. This blog is a record of my better finds in the $10 to $20 range. If you have any questions please drop me an email at stiebelben@gmail.com. I always love to talk wine.

Pacific Rim Organic Riesling 2010 (about $15)
About the Wine: Organic wine has gained in popularity along with organic everything else. Some are grown and made using entirely organic methods while others are merely grown from organic grapes. This latter type, which includes this wine, do not promise less additives than other wines but the grapes are grown without pesticides and in an eco-friendly manner.
About THIS Wine: The wine is a light gold in the glass with no distinct rim. Honey, tea, apricot, and pear combine for a a fairly complex nose. Those flavors deliver on a sweet palate. The finish is quick but not unpleasant.
Drinking This Wine: I prefer more lingering wines for sipping. This would go very well with Thai or other spicy Asian food.
Overall Impression: I'm not blown away by this wine but organics are not cheap. This wine is fair for the price.
