At Purple Cafe, in Washington White flight. Just terrible, way too sweet and plasticy.

2005 Chateau Ste. Michelle & Dr. Loosen Riesling Eroica
At Purple Cafe, in Washington White flight. Love this wine, such vibrancy behind the acids, with minimal saccharine quality, and a great balance in the finish. Love the apricot and floral nose.

Home-grown goodness. $28
