Wine of the Week: Clos du Bois Riesling 2006 (CA) $12

The newly released Clos du Bois Riesling offers exceptional taste and value for a very reasonable Riesling price. Winemaker, Erik Olsen has created a well-received wine that is both balanced and refreshing. The style leans more to the off-dry, with a slight sweetness. The flavor profile has plenty of earth and sufficient minerality mixed with an abundance of citrusy fruit amidst pears and apples. This white wine is a fantastic option for Asian take out and spicy ethnic entrees. Another top pick for summer wine!
