Featherstone Winery Old Vines Riesling 2008, V.Q.A. Niagara Escarpment, Ontario, Canada: This wine won the bronze medal at the 2009 Canadian Wine Awards. It’s an absolutely delightful Riesling bursting with fresh lime, dry apricot, lemon zest and white peach. There’s a deep vein of minerality running through the core that comes up sunshine on the finish. This wine is perfect as an aperitif. Bring it on! 64584 10.20% D 750 mL $19.95 Score: 91/100.

Dr. Loosen Dr. L Riesling 2010, Qualitätswein, Mosel, Germany: Vintages Wine Panel: Dr. L is the exceptional entry-level Mosel Riesling made by the dynamic Ernst Loosen. If you are a Riesling newbie, this is an excellent place to begin. It shows all the bright fruitiness and refreshing acidity one should expect from the grape. Wrapped up in a very easy-drinking style, it can be enjoyed as a sipper or as a very versatile food partner. My note: This is a favourite of so many people I know and for good reason: packed with flavour, floral notes and melon essence. Light- to medium-bodied and low in alcohol. Drink: 2011-2014. 599274 8.50% MD 750 mL $14.95 Score: 88/100. October 29, 2011
