Chateau Ste. Michelle
Harvest Select Columbia Valley Sweet Riesling
Had a little as an aperitif while waiting for the red to breathe. This wine is consistent every year, pears and petrol, sweet but not too sweet.

May 20th, 2018I found this wine at Walmart on sale, otherwise it would have been over my "let's give it a try" limit. It looked fancy in its tall skinny bottle and had a nice slider on the back showing it was on the up side of medium-sweet. Which I greatly approve of for us ignorant winos. That first glass however had me on the fence.
When you first drink it there is a nice fresh, sweet fruit flavor. I was liking it. Then you swallow and this odd aftertaste hits you. The more I drank, the more it hit me till I was grimacing at the end of the glass. I am told this is a thing with riesling.... Okay... Mark them off my list because this bottle is still in my fridge two bottles of wine later. Not my thing.

I use to like this wine more when I was a ‘newbie’ wine drinker. It’s sweet and light and would pair well with berries or fruit. Sometimes it’s almost too sweet for me but I still enjoy it overall.
