Riesling + Dumplings

NittanyEpicurean tasted the 2017 Riesling:

This wine is 100% riesling from Napa’s Spring Mountain District. It comes in at 12.9% ABV. The wine showed a bright yellow color. Pear, apple, lemon, petrol and citron all arrived on the nose. Pear, lemon curd, peach, citron and hints of dried apricot followed on a palate that began with pear and citrus and meandered its way to just a hint of dried stone fruit. The wine exhibited good acidity and balance. It was light-bodied and demonstrated good length. This wine would do as well as an aperitif as it would alongside a classic dim sum dish – Har Gow (shrimp dumplings).

No such drama here, just hopefully some provocative fun.
