recently, my wife and i shared the best white wine i have ever tasted. Fetzer Vineyards Valley Oaks Riesling (2001) is friggin' amazing. those of you who know me, know that i'll drink beer any day of the week (especially amstel light), but when it's time to choose a great wine, this is the one. the taste is completely unbelievable. it starts a bit boring and then this sweet but sour, dry but mouth watering flavor explodes and sets the stage for the nicest finish in all of the riesling wines. i've had about 10 different types of this particular type, at all different prices, but fetzer is by far the best taste and price for your drinking. for about $10 it's worth your while to try...i promise you won't be let down. try it with a pepper jack cheese and triscuits, or even better a home cooked turkey dinner."Riesling comes in many styles, and is popular enough that some call it the new Chardonnay. We just call it good. Our personal style blends fruit from cooler areas of California to create a wine both rich and floral, pale yellow in color with aromas of pear and apricot. In the glass, you’ll taste peaches and apricots, a gracious invitation to sit a spell and enjoy with friends."
