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.

St. Urbans-Hof Riesling 2010 (about $15)
About the Wine: Some time ago I reviewed Urban Riesling, the under brand of St. Urbans-Hof that goes for about ten dollars. It will be interesting to see if the quality of the over brand supports the fifty percent jump in the price.
About THIS Wine: It is golden yellow in the glass with a clear rim. Citrus dominates the nose with hints of green apple. Mildly sweet honey and citrus make for a pleasant palate, but the finish is very tart and sharp, so much so that it made me wince. It is not that it was bad, it was just unexpected.
Drinking This Wine: Enjoy it with spicy food such as Thai or Indian.
Overall Impression: I actually think the under brand was better. This wine is good but overpriced.
