Lean and steely, with penetrating minerality, this bone-dry Riesling just begs to be paired with briny oysters or caviar. The palate boasts delicate apple and pear flavors that are layered with smoke, fresh fennel and a deliciously herbaceous finish.

Hints of fennel add a splash of green to the intense yellow peach, pineapple and honeysuckle flavors of this penetrating, off-dry Riesling. The palate is lush with sweet fruit flavors, but spirited lemon-lime acidity carries it to a dry, elegantly floral finish.

A hint of white flower brightens the savory notes of fennel, sea breeze and pressed apple on this richly concentrated Riesling. The palate is fresh, dry and zippy, with loads of juicy tangerine, green apple and slightly underripe stone-fruit flavors. It finishes on a note of steely slate and struck flint.

The complex, seductive nose promises a bit more than the palate delivers. Nonetheless, there is good complexity and a moderately long, if somewhat watery, finish. The slight residual sugar will make this a good choice with drier Asian dishes. Drink now.

Savory on the nose with pressed apple notes brightened by a dash of coriander spice, this semi-sweet Riesling is brisk with a lemony acidity and concentrated, honey-kissed apple flavors. Unusually spiced, it’s a tempting companion for lighter South Indian fare.

The scents of lightly toasted oak, waxy lemon rind and orange blossoms are enticing. On the palate, ripe, concentrated peach and apricot flavors are bathed in a subtly-sweet cream note that adds richness, but isn’t cloying. Brisk with acidity, the finish is eminently refreshing.

This Chardonnay balances fresh and lush flavors, offering a toasty spice and apple nose and flavors of creamy vanilla toast and apple, peach and warming spice. Approachable but displaying some complexity. A friendly everyday white.
