Chateau Ste. Michelle, Columbia Valley (Washington) Dry Riesling 2019

 You cannot beat this wine for quality and price.  More than once in blind tastings, it has been chosen over the competition.  In 1972, the Los Angeles Times sponsored a blind tasting of 19 Rieslings and this one was named the best.  In 2010 at the Critics Challenge, my fellow judges and I voted it the best wine of the entire competition.  It is from Chateau Ste. Michelle, Washington’s largest winery and the world’s largest single producer of Riesling.  It is a dry Riesling with a steely structure and vibrant flavors of Meyer lemon and white peach with floral notes, crisp and mouthwatering.  It is great as a sipping wine and can handle a myriad of flavors, perfect for a Thanksgiving dinner.
