Upstate NY Riesling

If the title intrigued you than the wine will too. Red Newt Cellars 2008 Riesling is to Germany was Oz is to Kansas. You will get no typical apply-fuel like smells nor flavors to this NYState Riesling. You will get some sweetness, but not too much and an unmistakable sensation of tangerine. Now I know there are no citrus trees in upstate NY, so you can imagine this flavor surprised me. It has been a fun wine to drink during the summer when I have got tired of New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs. The hint of sweetness with the tangerine flavor has been tasting delicious with a varitey of summer salads too.
