Apparently, the Finger Lakes are closer to Virginia than they appear.
I stopped by a local wine retailer tonight on my way to pick up some Thai food for my girls. My plan was to find a nice, dry Riesling from Virginia that would compliment dinner and make me forget about my raging head cold.
I made my way to the Virginia wine section, at which point the cold meds must have kicked and I stopped paying attention. Although I thought I was in the Virginia section, I managed to bring home something from the Finger Lakes region in New York—a 2006 Brickstone Cellars Dry Riesling from Widmer.
Talk about a nice surprise. Crisp, dry, well balanced, and a great finish—all for $10.99.
If you’re looking for something to compliment your next Thai or Chinese meal, I can definitely recommend this wine.
That said, can someone recommend a Virginia Riesling?
