Lingenfelder Bird Label Riesling 2012, Qualitätswein, Pfalz, Germany: Magnificent for the price point! Floral with fleshy ripe peach yet airy and refreshing. Medium-bodied with a peach blossom finish. Slight sweetness lends food versatility, yet it's not at all cloying. Winemaker Rainer Lingenfelder has created an outstanding Riesling here that will appeal to many palates. This "Bird Label" is part of his Vineyard Creatures series. Pair with fresh seafood. Drink: 2013-2016. 568634 10.50% M 750 mL $14.95 Score: 89/100. December 6, 2014 Best Value White Wine. Spectacular Spicy Wine Full Review

Joseph Cattin Gewurztraminer 2012, Alsace A.C., France: Classic Gewürztraminer: rose petal, lychee and baking spice aromas. Mouth-watering and dry yet exotically floral. Previous vintages of this wine won the Gold Medal at the coveted Concours Général Agricole in Paris. Medium-bodied and mouth-filling. Highly recommended. Drink: 2013-2018. 224626 13% M 750 mL $19.95 Score: 91/100. January 10, 2015 Spectacular Spicy Wine Full Review
