Wine By Nine

White Wine by Ch. Ste. Michelle from Columbia Valley, Washington. This is our ripe, tropical style of Riesling, which comes from the warm Wahluke Slope region of eastern Washington. The 2006 Indian Wells Riesling exhibits fruit-driven aromas of juicy pineapple and mango. The wine is rich and unctuous, while maintaining a fresh, elegant style that is typical of Washington state Riesling. - Bob Bertheau, Winemaker Food pairings: Crab, fresh fruit, poultry, mild cheeses, Asian dishes
