Normally, I wouldn’t tough a white. Too sweet and too fruity, all the things the author of the piece exploits.
My usual wine is a very dry Red, a Shiraz or Merlot. A good Merlot is hard to describe, the tannin adds to whatever food you are ingesting at the moment!
But about a year back I had something called “Dry Riesling”, it was just a bottle I bought, never kept up with the label, and never found it again. It truly was excellent!
First introduced to Merlot at a Steak&Ale by a waiter who we asked to give a recommendation. Ended up buying two bottles to take home.
Yellow Tail (Australian wine) has great Merlot, Shiraz, etc., and is very reasonably priced!
Dry red wine drinker here too. I sometimes buy a wine because of the label. I’m a sucker for anything having to do with firefighters, skulls, or the ocean. Have found some really decent wines but never kept up with the labels. Lol
Sorry, can’t get the URL to come up... Go to Google images https://images.google.com/?client=safari&channel=mac_bm and type in ‘dry riesling’ Maybe you’ll be able to identify the label and be able to buy some more. I know what it’s like to have tasted and loved a wine, then not be able to remember its name! A few years ago my wife went to a convention in SF where she was put up in a fancy hotel and wined and dined for a week. When she came home, she raved about the champagnes they served but couldn’t remember the names at all.
