The bottle: Trimbach Riesling 2008.
Price: $20.99.
Varietal: Riesling.
Where it's from: The Alsace region of France, where the Trimbach family has been making distinguished wine since the 17th century. The company specializes in riesling -- mostly made in dry styles, but also in sweet late-harvest and noble-rot versions as dessert wines.
Where we found it: Whole Foods Market in University Heights.
Tasting notes: Flowers, light citrus, tropical notes and a touch of minerals rise from this light-gold wine. Flavors are very tart and dry, favoring citrus. It's smooth and fresh, a perfect complement to a variety of appetizers and main courses.
Pairings: Shrimp and mushroom risotto, veal, poultry, winter soups and assorted cheeses.
