The funky labeling on this totally delicious American Riesling talks about missing links and magical connections to the Mosel. What’s in the bottle is an alive, vivacious, slatey wine that just barely conjures memories of German Riesling. Fantastic fruit and wonderful served cool, this is a superb wine from front to back. Best Buy.

With funky labeling and fruit from two states, this one will get you singing. Aromatic, vivacious and slatey, it’s a little like German Riesling but manages to stay American in style. Served chilled it is great for an appetizer course or fish.

Riesling, when well made, is one of the great white wines, and this one is well made. There are floral, honeyed and citrus-fruit flavors here, but what makes it notable is the steely, minerally backbone. An intensely fruity, spicy finish adds a flourish. A very good wine and an unbelievable value. Best Buy.

You’ll find lots of jammy cherry, blackberry and chocolate flavors in this clean wine. It feels round and supple in the mouth, and finishes dry, with an aftertaste of berries. A nice value at this everyday price.

This is a young and easy drinking red wine with enough character to stand up to a good roast. It has jammy flavors of blueberries and cherries that have been baked into a pie, and the wine finishes with a gritty feel of dry tannins.
