However, I have since learned, from bottles like this 2006 Affentaler Blue Monkey Riesling, that dry (not sweet) Rieslings are abundantly available. </p> <p>Crisp and clean, this lush white was smooth and highly drinkable. With a tart, puckery finish and a fruity aroma, the wine was exceptional chilled and delicious paired with homemade pesto. </p> <p>At <a href="http://www.ourniche.com/" target="_blank">only $14.99</a> the fun bottle, complete with embossed blue monkey, makes a wonderful hostess gift. What do you think of Riesling?
