| 75 | | | 88 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | With typically moderate alcohol, Riesling makes a perfect choice for sipping out on the patio. This example shows a very pale straw color and some sweetness. But the zingy acidity keeps the sweetness in balance, staying its hand and not allowing it to become cloying. A delicate scent of citrus flowers provides initial interest, while the palate is framed by flavors of nectarine and kumquat. Minerality contributes its portion to the wine's complexity. Mouthwatering to the very last of the finish, the endgame is clean, crisp and compels another sip. Serve not too chilled, about 55-60ºF/13-15ºC. Foods: smoked salmon terrine; grilled ham steakwith mustard sauce; fish poached in beer, mustard cream sauce; light curries, such as lightly curried chicken salad; grilled chicken with yellow fruits and a curried mayonnaise; chicken thighs braised on a bed of caramelized onions; anything Asian exotic but not too hot in seasoning. Great little value. The Prince zu Salm-Salm and his son are the "two princes" of the label, and represent respectively the 31st and 32nd generation of winemakers at this estate. Interesting Atlanta connection: Felix Constantin Alexander Johann Nepomuk Prinz zu Salm-Salm, a Federal officer, was briefly the military and civilian governor of North Georgia after the U.S. Civil War.
