Well, I haven't been trying any wines for a bit, been indulging in some other yummy things. But today I decided to crack open a bottle I bought for Thanksgiving and forgot to open.
This one is a Chateau St. Michelle Gewurztraminer.
A what?
Geh-VURTZ-trah-meener.
I like this one, though it's not something I would seek out and buy again. Crisp and acidic, it almost seemed to have a bit of an effervescence. It had a nice aroma, but nothing to really write home about in my opinion.
A bit on the dry side for my liking, but good nonetheless. Some would probably say it's more in the middle, which I guess it is.
I would recommend this one to customers because it is pleasant. A nice wine.
A disbeliever in wine, the wine dissenter at heart, trying to find what it is that makes wine so wonderful to so many. Here I document that journey, along with my musings, on the "nectar of the gods".

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.
