If you like a sweet wine, I found a good one. Now, I know this is a little late for your New Year's Eve celebration, but I think this is a really tasty, go-with-anything, table wine. It is definitely a step up from the usual Riesling wines you find at the grocery store.

It's called Lingenfelder and it's a 2004 Riesling, a product of Germany with the bird label. At our local Paradise Meats it cost $13.99. We had it with our Christmas dinner, chicken and ham, and it was a very pleasant accompaniment, not too sweet with a full body, no aftertaste.

Here's some info about the wine from the Vancouver Magazine , April 2001,
"Lingenfelder is a small family property in the Pfalz region. Winemaker Karl-Rainer Lingenfelder shows his confident, experimental side in this fresh, barely off-dry style. The light-bodied, aromatic mix of peach, ripe apple and honeyed citrus is kept simple, reflecting a philosophy of making wines with the least manipulation possible to retain natural character and complexity. Bird Label is Lingenfelder's only bottled wine using non-estate grapes, but an effective testimony to the 100-percent riesling recipe."

So, here is my new blog title- Aunt B drinks. Cheers!
