Long Layoff

Ok, so it has been over a month. I have changed jobs, bought a house. Closing is actually tomorrow. Also, outdoor soccer has started, which has me playing 3 days per week, plus my one night of indoor. With all that, I haven't had much time to try anything new. I won't lie, I have had a few new bottles, but just didn't get a chance to write something up until I realized I didn't take any notes.

Tonight was a wine night.

Wine #12 - 2003 Washington Hills Riesling - Columbia Valley, WA.

As Rieslings go, this one wasn't as sweet as I am used to. Definitely better the colder it is. It is similar to a Pinot Grigio in initial flavor, with a hint of the sweet aftertaste. You get the grassy, citrus flavors with the hint of apple finish. If Rieslings are too sweet for you usually, this may be a nice option. However, the Columbia Winery and J Lohr versions are still my favorite.
