Dr. Loosen 2008 Riesling


It’s not often you can find a wine that earned 90 points from Wine Spectator in Trader Joes but this is one of those rare occassions. This fabulous white wine received great accolades when their critics placed it among the top 100 wines of the year. A delightful, easy sipping wine with impressive notes of apricot and tropical fruit, it’s a tad sweeter than usual for a Riesling but well balanced by zingy lime notes. I love this wine with Asian foods, charcuterie, or citrus-glazed roast chicken. Available at Trader Joe’s for $10.99, it’s a steal at this price but it won’t stay on the shelf long.
