Oktoberfest is just around the corner, making it a perfect time to celebrate with some German wine to go along with the beer.
This traditional riesling — packaged in the signature blue bottle — is a great choice for all wine drinkers. It’s made in the kabinett style, the lowest of the six categories of the quality-wine category in Germany, which also makes it a pretty good value.
It’s light-bodied, lower in alcohol (8 to 8.5 percent), very easy drinking and would not be offensive when paired with a bratwurst. Displays apple and orchard fruit flavors with a crisp finish.
Sherry: “Apple and pear with a soft almond finish.” 3 stars
Chris: “Tropical fruit bouquet with flavors of pineapple, pear and citrus.” 3 stars
Available locally for about $8.
Coming next week: Horse Heaven Hills Les Chevoux
