At sale price of $13 or $15 (don't have it written down), a very good QPR. The wine is from the Pfalz region and had an alcohol content of 11.5%. Had apricot, citrus and floral notes on the palate. Slightly off-dry. Good balance. Medium-long finish that invited a second or third glass. Food friendly. Try it with fish or shellfish in a delicate sauce. Could also stand up to some desserts although it was not a dessert wine per se. This is one I will seek out again.

Thanks for the tip. As a new found Riesling lover, I'm always looking for a new and good one to try. Your suggestion is next on my list. Thanks again.
