Interesting and fun... in that it's Riesling from Piedmont... but certainly not the greatest value in dry Riesling out there. Still, good wine.

The World Cup was devastating but this Langhe Riesling I bought on sale at Astor when I was drunk eased the pain. It was stellar with garlic bread, full of lemon pith and petrol, esp. on the nose. Totally interesting, could probably use more time.

Interesting Riesling from a great Barolo producer. Perhaps a bit too expensive. Limeleaf, green pear, pomelo.
