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.

Dr. Konstantin Frank Dry Riesling 2010 (about $17)
About the Wine: The Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York is probably the best wine growing region in the state and Dr. Konstantin Frank is one of the better producers from the Finger Lakes.
About THIS Wine: In the glass it is clear with no rim. Citrus, melon, and grapefruit make up a fruity and pleasant nose. Those flavors deliver nicely in a very dry and crisp palate that lingers in a pleasant finish.
Drinking This Wine: This would do very well with seafood pasta. It has a little too much acidity for a sipping wine.
Overall Impression: This wine is not for everyone. It is crisp, acidic, and blunt in its flavors. This does not mean that it is bad, it just means that it is very particular. For anyone looking for that style of wine this is reasonable for the price.
