A classic nose of roses and Asian spice precedes an intense palate with substantial residual sugar. Medium, perfumed finish. Serve with sweeter Thai dishes.

The gorgeous nose of petrol, lime and citrus promises more than the mouth can deliver. The dry palate shows some attractive notes of white flowers but is thin and watery. The short finish rounds out the disappointment.

Easy-drinking, this plump wine offers scents of apple, citrus, honey and similar flavors. It’s a cleanly made, fruity quaffer that finishes with a touch of anise. Drink now.

Despite being rather full-bodied, this isn’t soft at all, instead offering up scents of lime and lemon and firm, assertive flavors of apple and citrus. Finishes crisp and long. This could work as a mouthwatering apéritif or perhaps with raw shellfish.

A big, mouthfilling Riesling at a bargain price. Dried spices, ripe apple and a dusty, minerally sensation reminiscent of rock dust give this wine plenty of interest. It is a bit low acid, but that’s balanced by plenty of minerality. Imported by Prestige Wine Group.

Drier and crisper than many Gewürzes, with grapefruit and citrus blossom aromatics that flow easily into apple and pear flavors. Clean and citrusy on the finish, picking up hints of chalk dust. Imported by Prestige Wine Group.

The 3rd and final Riesling in our blind taste test is from Alsace, France. For those that are used to German Rieslings, you'll find Alsace Rieslings to be quite different even though they're literally right across the river from each other. Alsace Rieslings are not as sweet as German Rieslings and this particular one is a bit more acidic and citrus forward rather than the usual honey, apples, peaches and pears offered in their German counterparts. Our testers agreed across the board that the color was quite pale, the bouquet light, and the style crisp. The tasters agreed that it was citrus dominated but split between lemon/lime and grapefruit. All agreed the sweetness was off-dry to dry with high acidity and a monotonous complexity. All three were in agreement with a solid finish. With scores of 71, 73, and 82, the average score of 75 described this Riesling as ordinary as table wine can get. In all fairness to Alsace, our tasters were German Riesling fans and I threw in the French version to show them that the same grape in a different terroir can yield a completely different flavor and aroma.
