The other day we opened a bottle of Riesling that was full of aroma and flavor. Maurice Carrie Winery in Temecula Valley, California produces a 2008 Riesling that is delightfully aromatic and with a taste to match. The summer fruit nuances reminded me of peaches and pears.

With an aroma of floral and fruit nuances and 10.5 percent alcohol, this semi-sweet wine is well balanced. This is a perfect white wine to enjoy with dinner or perhaps after dinner. On the other hand, imagine yourself on a summer day under the shade of a tree enjoying a glass of this fully aromatic and delicious wine.

If you have the opportunity to visit Maurice Carrie Winery, be sure to stop in for a tasting. The winery is a fun filled place to enjoy. Also, ask about the special Brie bread they bake.

Cheers, Kathy
