Robert Mondavi Private Selection 2004 Johannisberg Riesling
(approx. $11/Bottle US)
My favorite White Wine
This one's for you Mark
Now, I'm definitely NOT into dry wines. This one, is an amazing white, crisp and fresh, a bit sweet but not too much.
I discovered this wine about a year ago, and it's wonderful in the summer, chilled while relaxing.
Here's what the winemaker has to say about it:
Winemaker's Notes
Our Robert Mondavi Private Selection 2003 Johannisberg Riesling has charming floral and fruit aromas and crisp, lightly sweet flavors. Enticing hints of spice and minerals mingle with the jasmine, pear, apple and melon notes. This grape variety develops its broadest spectrum of flavors in cool grape growing regions, such as Monterey County in California’s Central Coast appellation. Delicate and fragrant, our Johannisberg Riesling is a refreshing match to Pacific Rim cuisines, especially slightly salty or smoky dishes such as chicken teriyaki skewers. In its homeland, Germany, Johannisberg Riesling is classically matched with smoked trout. We also love it with salads, such as baby greens and prawns tossed with Roquefort dressing. In the summer, enjoy a chilled glass of Johannisberg Riesling with fresh strawberries and cheeses.

Enjoy!

Okay Dave, you've piqued my interest. I'm going to buy a bottle of each wine you feature. We have a couple of specialty wine stores in town, and if they don't stock them perhaps they can order them. Don't get too pricey on me. ;-)
The first one, Chateau Prieure Lichine, might be next to impossible to find. I searched all of the US and found 3 cases in NY at the top of Manhatten (closest to CT), and was lucky to have my friend Aaron take the ride with me one day.
Also, it's THE most expensive wine I've ever purchased at about $23 US per bottle.
Hold off a bit, I'm going to feature another Bordeaux (Chateau des Graves) that's 99% as good, and a LOT less money!
The Robert Mondavi Johannisberg Riesling, is about $11 US.
Thanks, it makes me think, I should put approximate prices on them when I feature them!
