My wife is the Riesling fan of the two of us – sure I like Riesling, but I drink all kinds of wine, my wife is almost exclusively Riesling … or at least it’s her first choice, when given a choice. I guess that makes my wife a perpetual summer. But it also means we’re always on the hunt for her next Riesling-fix … and this 2011 Cave Spring number is it. Nose is apple, pear and tropical fruited while the palate doles out plenty of fruit of its own, with just a touch of sweetness, plus there’s nice acid and a mild mineral character added into the mix. For not a lot of dough this is a great way to get your own Riesling-fix, summer or not. Price: $14.95 – Rating: ****
