Description:
White Riesling has gained so in popularity in the last few years that we are truly distressed to have two hundred cases less than last year to offer you. This lovely 2004 vintage is pale straw in color with honeysuckle and vine flower aromas. In the mouth it has a notable juicy, fruity quality and the tartness of pomegranate. For the perfect food pairing we always like to mention Dungeness crab and Stony Hill White Riesling together, so look for a couple of recipes on November 15 th when crab season opens in San Francisco. And here’s one more food pairing idea. First, chill the White Riesling. Then, for an extremely simple and delicious first course, place a grilled peach half on lightly dressed greens and sprinkle with crumbles of delicate blue cheese. Your family and guests will love you for this delightful combination of flavors.
