Happy Hour: Chateau Ste. Michelle Eroica Riesling 2006

Nov 14 2007 - 2:27pm


When shopping for white wine, I usually steer clear of overly sweet Rieslings. However, one Riesling I can't get enough of is Eroica [1]. It's a rich, fruity wine from Washington state that is developed with a complex mix of old-world meets new-world techniques. The grapes come from many different vineyards to make the perfect blend. It's bold but refined with citrus flavors and a slight mineral finish. I love that the wine is named for Beethoven's third symphony, an interesting tidbit that elevates this bottle to supreme sophistication. It would pair well with light appetizers at Thanksgiving [2] dinner; a crisp, thin crusted pizza; or a delicious, raw seafood bar.
