I am a huge fan of Riesling wine. Riesling wines are made from a Riesling grape. The Riesling grape is originally from Germany but has since been planted in many other places including Washington, Michigan, and Ontario.
These wine can be paired with many different types of foods. I love to drink a glass of Riesling when eating Pad Thai add a local Thai restaurant that my boyfriend and I love to go to. I also like to order a glass of Riesling with my parmesan coated chicken breast dinner at ASM meetings (a professional organization that I am a member of).
So I was introduced to this particular Riesling when I was at home for Christmas a few years back. My dad knows that my mom and I both enjoy Rieslings, and so he is always on the lookout for new Rieslings to try. He found Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling at their local Walmart. The three of us (my sister was at her husband’s family Christmas) tried the wine and all like it. It is in the “Family Wine Book” as highly rated. My mom (who prefers sweeter wines) even enjoyed this wine.
I like to drink this wine with dinner. I had a glass tonight with my steak and shrimp dinner. This is a “medium” wine that has peach and pear notes. A medium wine is between a dry wine and a sweet wine. The winemaker states that this is an “everyday wine”. The reason for calling it an “everyday wine” is that it can easily be pair with many types of food. This is one of my go-to wines when at a restaurant. I have ordered it a variety of different restaurants including a Thai restaurant and a restaurant that served modern American cuisine.
I have been able to find this wine in a variety of places. I have bought this wine at my local grocery store. I have also bought this wine at Walmart. I have even seen a bottle at the gas station. You can find this wine by using this website: www.ste-michelle.com/find-our-wine. Be sure to select “Columbia Valley Riesling” in the wine option. One of my favorite things about this wine is that it is a delicious and versatile wine that is fairly inexpensive. Most places have this wine for less than $10. If you want to order this wine, you can order a bottle at Wine.com.
