After our trip to Dr. Frank's, we went down the street to the Heron Hill Winery. I tried three of their premium Rieslings.
All were excellent, but I wasn't taking notes, and I only remember a word or two to describe each.
Dry Riesling 2003. Lots of citrus, particularly in the finish. Primarily lime.
Johannesberg Riesling. Primarily lemon, more in the full flavor than just the finish.
Late Harvest Riesling 2002. Honey and orange, but mostly honey. It has an almost syrupy consistency when compared with the other two. Did I mention honey?
Our trip to the Finger Lakes wine region was very successful - there are definitely some excellent wines being produced in the area. I'm going to head over to Marty's shortly to see what New York wineries they stock.
