Chateau St. Michelle Harvest Select Riesling

Now here's a bottle of wine I really like. Chateau St. Michelle Harvest Select Riesling. When you pour it in the glass it has a very nice pale gold color and it smells very fruity. It is slightly sweet which I really enjoy with a nice crispness to it. What a great glass of wine to sip on. I guarantee this one won't last too long.

German Riesling

So I wanted to try a German riesling. I had one in class a while back and actually liked it. It was slightly sweet, apparently German rieslings tend toward the sweeter side. Anyways, I picked up Carl Reh riesling, a Spatlese (which just means a late harvest). Very nice. Not terribly sweet but refreshing. Nice light straw color to it and a pleasant aroma. I can actually say I taste a minerality to it. Still a newbie at the whole "what do I taste" thing, but I do know that I like this one. I will have to try a couple different ones as from what I understand, different areas will give a different taste. This one was from Mosel. Very tasty.
