Empire Estate, Finger Lakes (New York) Dry Riesling 2017 ($28)

Founded by Thomas Pastuszak, Empire State was established just a few years ago with a mission to showcase the versatility of New York’s Finger Lakes region, particularly through the Riesling grape. This Riesling is vinified bone-dry, offering a refreshing profile with thirst-quenching notes of tart apple, grapefruit pith, and apricot. Wet stone minerality and lemon-lime acidity give way to a lingering, crisp finish. This is the perfect introduction to the Finger Lakes for fans of dry white wines.
