  nose: quite amazing and lovely and complex, intense, explosive. thick super-ripe almost decaying peach, apple, and pear. orange zest. oily and sappy.
  
  palate: great texture of pear and apple, bright but full. the acidity is awesome but not isolated or overbearing. [a little hint of residual sugar?]. medium finish of waxy pineapple

  $9 dry riesling that goes well with sushi...and many other things. What is wrong with that? Nothing.

  Light gold, with tons of fruit here, pear and peach, mostly, unless you serve it too cold. For some reason people think this wine is sweet but there's next to no residual sugar. Enough tartness to keep it fresh, a bit of stone, and a little asparagus. Short finish.

  Green apple on the nose. Citrus and peach on the palate. Slightly minerally, which gives it some character. Slightly sour, which gives it a little bite. It was decent, but I think past vintages of this wine from Pacific Rim have been better. For $9, it is worth it if you're looking for something light and crisp. Just don't expect the usual PR quality.

  I really liked this white. Fresh peach followed by sweet apple makes this a refreshing citrus treat.
