Entertaining
I dropped into Bond Street Wines to pick up a wine for dinner. I typically prefer a dry white wine, but Ashley promised the Joseph Cattin Riesling from the vineyards of Voegtlinshoffen in Alsace was a good match for diner and not as sweet as your typical Riesling. It has a pale gold color and is fresh and vibrant with great mineral, floral and citrus notes on the nose. On the palate it is slightly off dry with a touch of residual sugar and mineral characteristics. There are flavors of white fruit and peach and it paired well with the curried chicken salad. Serve slightly chilled. n
