WTN: Nice Virginia Riesling

I was down at my buddy's cabin in the woods this week-end and we usually have fish so I took along a 2006 Rockbridge Vineyard White Riesling. It was semi-sweet, %2 res. sugar, but full of nice apple and a bit of melon flavors with real good acidity. I mostly bought this as I live in (outside) Rockbridge Ohio. Screw cap and about $10 from D.C. It went great with fresh sauteed Chanterelles and L Erie perch. A most memorable meal!

Thanks for the note. When Virginia wines can be had for prices like that they are real QPRs.

I will look for that one Jim. Virginia Rieslings can be quite good, as can all east coast Reislings. The price makes it just right. Where did you get it?

James, I think I bought it at Calvert Woodley last Fall.

%2 res. sugar

How does that translate into grams per liter?

Thanks. I was at first thinking 2 grams per liter which did not sound at all semi-sweet. But then I saw the %. That is a good dose of r.s. Interesting.

That's just barely over halbtrocken.

In converting a percentage into grams per liter, just think of the percentage with a decimal point and move it one place to the right. In converting grams per liter into a percentage just thing of the grams per liter value with a decimal point and move it one place to the left.
2 % = 2.0 % = 20 g/L
9 g/L = 9.0 g/L = .9 %

Salute

Yes, ok. Definitely not sweet. But definitely not dry either. That's what I meant. Don't have much of a mental reference for Virginia riesling!
