Wine of the Week: Fetzer Valley Oaks German Riesling 2005 (Germany) $9

Friday October 27, 2006
The Fetzer Valley Oaks German Riesling is an off-dry, low-alcohol Riesling sourced from the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer and the Rheinhessen, two of Germany's prominent grape growing regions. This is an "every man's" white wine, in that it will behave beautifully with an assortment of flavors, spices and white meats. The flavor profile boasts abundant apple, pear and peach combinations with an enticing semi-sweet finish. The welcoming acidity and featured drinkability will appeal to those new to the world of wine as well as seasoned enthusiasts. Fetzer's Valley Oaks offers an authentic German Riesling, that is easy on the palate, easy on the wallet and is versatile enough to be featured at Thanksgiving, Christmas and all of the the social get-togethers in between.
