Dr. Loosen Riesling, 2008

Yesterday was a busy, busy, busy day and it got away from me.  At the end of the day it was time to relax and I was in the mood for something crisp, and refreshing. Most definitely a white wine. Dave and I opened our favorite bottle of Riesling, Dr. Loosen. We have been enjoying this for years and keep it on hand in our wine rack.

Dr. Loosen (a.k.a. Dr. L) 2008 Riesling is from Mosel, Germany.  The alcohol is low; 8.5%.  With an aroma of fruit and minerality, the flavor is refreshing fruit (tree fruit not tropical) and minerality with gooseberry finish.  This is not as fruity as the Rieslings I enjoy from Washinton state, but off-dry, crisp and enjoyable.  We've been enjoying Dr. Loosen for several years and it never disappoints!
