Trader Joe’s Review: Riesling and Thanksgiving have
become fast friends. That's because this versatile varietal makes food taste
better – everything from salty appetizers and sweet potatoes to biting
cranberries and roasted turkey. Produced in the Pfalz wine-growing region by
the second-largest German winery, our Joseph Handler Riesling is an archetype of this
delicate, complex wine. Balancing crisp acidity with light sweetness, its
pleasing aromas prepare the palate for a burst of tropical fruit and apricot
flavors. And that prepares the palate for everything else. It will certainly become
your fast friend at $4.99 for each 750 ml bottle.
My Review: The aroma of this wine is of fragrant
green apples. I served this wine chilled and it was extremely refreshing on a
hot summer afternoon. The color was
translucent lemon. The acidy was balanced
perfectly with the sweetness. This is a light bodied wine with green apple and
pear flavors. I paired this wine with
Fontina cheese and it was an excellent match.
The wine gave the cheese a creamier texture and gave the wine a floral
finish. This Riesling is an excellent value at only $4.99 and I highly
recommend!
