Weekday Wine - Dr. L
I recently discovered the 2006 Dr. L Riesling from the Loosen Bros, a fabulous little wine, while lunching at McKiernan's (see the May 2008 Newsletter). It fits all my criteria for a good white wine:
- Nice acidity from the Riesling (check)
- Crisp, with some apple and pear notes (check)
- A nice finish that is a bit tart (check)
- An interesting aspect that makes it different from the other whites, in that it has some residual sugar at the end but is far from being sweet (check)
- Pairs well with fish, seafood, vegetables and light meats (check)
So I was already sold. But when I found out it only cost $14.40 and has only 8.5% alcohol, well... The Dr. L Riesling is now a permanent fixture in my fridge, as it represents the perfect wine to enjoy at all times, and particularly on a school night when I just want to unwind without feeling "remorse" the next day.
