Wines Of Summer?



The weather in NYC is April fare- but here is a summer sipper:
2007 Riesling- Auslese Selzer Osterberg- Rheinhessen (Fritz Windisch)
Pale yellow with white peach, melon and some petrol aromas. Pure elegance on the palate with great balance and ripe flavors that seem to last for over 30 seconds. At 10% alcohol this is an impressive summer sipper for $14 a bottle. (Auslese is the equivalent of "late harvest"- not vinified to burn off all the residual sugar, but not quite a dessert wine either).
