DC Crew's Gem Tasting - 3rd Annual (Palena - Washington, DC): Okay, so this wasn't a riesling, but what a way to end the evening. This was quite possibly myh first weissburgunder eiswein, but it won't be my last. Golden orange colored and thick in the glass. The nose shows fresh peach, apricot and caramel. The palate is fresh, plush and silky. Deliciously nutty, with honey, almond and apricot. Endless finish. Very rich, but maintains balance and finesse.

Deliciously sweet and ripe. Oozes with sweet peaches, citrus zest and honey. Well balanced with good racy acidity providing structure. Long finish full of honey and ripeness.

Acidic, but not too much. Cleansing on the palatte, like a good sorbet. Light, but not full of honey and heaviness like many icewines. Not scary sweet. Definitely chill the wine a little extra first. It blends the flavors even better.
