Anthony Road 1999 Riesling
by F. Sot Fitzgerald Whenever I go shopping for Riesling I come away angry and depressed. Like Gewurtztraminer, Riesling always seems to be so damn expensive. As I naturally tend toward the $12 and under price range, I'm usually left staring stupidly at the wine shelves, torn between buying Rat's Rear Riesling or ponying up a few more bucks to get something that's consumable. |

This is where Anthony Road Wine
Company rides to the rescue. Their 1999 Riesling costs only $8.50
a bottle. It starts with a stiff citrus note that I dug but Zelduh
found a bit much, then glides into a long melon-canteloupe note.
It's an inexpensive white that's just dandy in sweltering weather or with
spicy Thai or stir fry. (Rating ***1/2)
