J. Lohr, Arroyo Seco (Monterey County, California) White Riesling 2023

 I will start with my usual Riesling disclaimer — I love Riesling, and I want you to love it too, as one of the most versatile wines on the planet.  This off dry example hits all the right marks, teeming with white flowers, stone fruit and spice aromas and stone fruit flavors that ride a streak of acidity through a finish that just keeps you coming back for more.  To find this at such a price is cause for rejoicing.  Throw in the fact that it is beautifully packaged for gifting, and you have got everything you could want.
