シャトー・サンミッシェル・ドライリースリング

This dry Riesling is a fantastic value for a Washington wine under $15, with crisp acidity that cuts through spicy food perfectly. The 750ml bottle was gone faster than I expected after one dinner party.

Crisp and refreshing without the cloying sweetness some Rieslings have, this one pairs perfectly with my spicy Thai takeout. The apple and citrus notes are subtle but present, making it feel more sophisticated than its price point would suggest.

For a bottle under fifteen bucks, this dry Riesling holds its own nicely—the finish stays clean without that cloying sweetness you often get at this price point. I opened it with a simple weeknight salmon dinner and it worked beautifully.
