Late on these notes but these were a couple of wines consumed during our Cambodian inspired feast. These wines accompanied Cambodian Mini Spring Rolls - ground pork, sugar/salt,etc.:
2005 Pey-Marin Riesling “The Shell Mound”, Marin County
This had a nice rich Riesling nose of petrol and tropical fruit. The palate was much racier than the nose suggested…citrus, parmesan rind, grapefruit skin and meyer lemon…really pretty nice…
2007 Esterlina Dry Riesling "Cole Ranch"
This wine exhibited much more peach characteristics, crushed rock and was very crisp…
All in all, both were very lovely expressions of Rieslings. I don’t know the cost but if both were $20 or under they are very fairly priced…
