  Impulse Purchase @ Total Wine
  I was seeking a Ste Michelle Gewurztraminer that I had previously had good results with (I recently had a Boeckel Gewurztraminer Midelberg that was good, but found a little too sweet for my taste). Total Wine did not have Ste Michelle Gewurz, but suggested a Ste Michelle (off-dry) Reisling. I opted for their 'Dry' Reisling instead of the 'Off-Dry."
  13.0% abv - $10
  
  Served @ 10c/50F with Sauteed Shrimp over Fettuccine and Salad.
  
  Pale yellow on the pour and in the glass. Nose of citrus and white flowers. Light-bodied, citrus on the palate with some peach notes. Pleasant acidity refreshing the palate. Just a hint of sweet, any more sweetness would detract from the overall impression and experience. Nice, pleasantly tart finish!
  Excellent accompaniment to the shrimp pasta entree. Spouse Endorsed; I'd buy again!

  Belle robe jaune paille cristalline. Nez de citron et de pêche. C'est bien, citron, touche de beurre, agréable, bon vin blanc de soif pas nécessairement le plus typé riesling.

  PnP, chilled. A very nice, basic, just ever so slightly off-dry Riesling that is widely available for under $15 (and as low as $8). Yellow apple, a touch of peach, green apple and lemon/lime on the medium to minus bodied palate. Nicely balancing acidity and a smooth finish. Not built for long aging; meant to be enjoyed fresh but should hold for some years after vintage.
