Milbrandt Riesling 2010 (about $14)






About the Wine:  Riesling is a versatile grape in that it ranges from painfully dry to cloyingly sweet, depending on the terroir and the maker.  Sweet Rieslings are the best known and most popular in America but dry Rieslings also have a strong following.

About THIS Wine:  It is hay colored in the glass with no distinct rim.  Sweet citrus, pear, and apple are present on the nose.  The palate is very mild, almost bland, with a mineral finish.

Drinking This Wine:  There is  not enough going on to make a good sipping wine.  This would go well with spicy chicken.

Overall Impression:  This has a lot more subtlety and complexity than most Riesling in its price range, though I am not sure it's actually good.  I'll say it is reasonable for the price.
