That's it - I'm sold on Riesling. I neglected to write up a Ste Michelle Eroica that I picked up as part of my deep dive on Riesling - but I loved it. This Lucashof is equally as good - with many recognizable flavors - most prominently lemon and peach, which I know are at different ends of the spectrem but I get them. I'm finding the texture of Riesling is consistently interesting. Riesling is closer apple cider while a Savignon Blanc would be more like your Motts apple juice. Chardonnay may be something in between. Watch out! Don't go talking about that analogy with your wine snob friends because I came up with that one on my own ! Anyway, it is time to shed whatever internal biases you may carry against Riesling as being some sweet wine that those Germans make. I'll keep trying Rieslings and wouldn't hesitate to pick up a Lucoshoff again. This was marked down from $12 to $8 - so now you know why I grabbed it. Mrs. Vino still can't be sold, but I'll keep trying.
