DISCOUNT WINE CELLARS

This Washington state Riesling bottled and produced by Latah Creek Wine Cellars; the bottle features a simple label with an image of flying geese. Let's hope there are no airplanes in the distance! What immediately comes to mind when I look this label over is my backyard on a lovely spring day. Minus the geese, usually I have deer and raccoons in my yard. Kudos to Yakima Valley artist Floyd A. Broadbent for creating the artwork for this bottling.

In the emerald green bottle, the wine within is green but in my glass it's a pale straw yellow. Surprise surprise! No green vino to go with my green eggs and ham. Oh well!

After allowing the Riesling to catch some air as I swirl the glass, I gently placed my nose over the rim to revel in the bouquet of apple and pear. I can already detect a lovely crispness to this wine, just from the aroma. Sure enough, on the palate there's a beautiful balance of citrus, fruits and honey. Just enough tart and sweetness intertwined to make this quite delicious. Love this wine and also find the price of $9 per bottle to be fantastic! I recommend this to all white wine (especially Riesling) lovers out there.

Cheers!!!
