Wine Folly: Pg. 158: Riesling. This aromatic white wine ranging in style from bone-dry to very sweet. Main characteristics for Rieslings are high in acidity and low in tannic components. This wine is also varying in sweetness levels, low in body and lower in alcohol content, as it is 9.5% alcohol. Main tasting notes for a typical Riesling is lime, green apple, beeswax, jasmine, and petroleum. 

My Review: I thought this wine was awesome! The first Riesling that we tried earlier in the semester was not very good, so I was a little skeptical at first. This wine had notes of white peach and apricot, with no floral flavors. I thought that it was super easy to drink, with just the right amount of sweetness and a light acidity. Would recommend!
