Ste. Chapelle, Dry Riesling, 2006
The nose on this was very nice. There was a bit of something for everyone: pear, green apple, kiwi, lime, cantaloupe, gardenia. The taste was predominantly pear. The finish was a bit of honey (yes, just a hint of sweetness) and lime.
Rieslings are seemingly shunned in wine circles, but this wine was quite nice and tasty on a hot day. Though, it should be noted that this is a "dry" Riesling. So it's not supposed to be sweet. But despite that, it was sweeter than, say, a Sauvignon Blanc. But it hit the spot for me. The best part: it's like $7 a bottle. Not great a great wine, but good enough for general drinking.
