2017 Fritz Zimmer Riesling Spatlese

The wines from the Piesporter Goldtropfchen region in Germany are among the best Rieslings in the world. The Spatlese, which represents the second picking when the grapes are a little sweeter, is a great choice for most fowl dishes. We served it with Cornish Game Hen, which was our Thanksgiving dinner this year and it was delightful.

The wine has a fragrant nose and flavors which broadcast rays of sunshine, which highlight a perfect mix of acidity and sweet fruit. The prominent taste ticklers are a combination of apple, peach, and pear, with a light touch of citrus, leading to a crisp finish. The last time I sampled this wine, I said it was "lip smacking good"! The alcohol content is 7.5% and Norm's score is 90.

You can enjoy this fine Riesling with Turkey, Chicken, or a big platter of ripe juicy grapes and soft French Cheese.

score: 90

price: $11 - $15
