Zotzenberg Riesling
Zotzenberg, Mittelbergheim, Alsace, France
Costco find. Opened up very much with petrol and diesel on the nose and mouth. But it turned beautifully into a floral and crystalline expression of fruit. Not much depth but good acidity to balance out the sweetness. Eminently quaffable even with a very hearty moose curry.

This is your #riesling if you’re not a fan of the petrol / diesel notes, once this has had a chance to breathe a bit. While I don’t mind those, this is a nice alternative terroir expression - subtle floral and peach notes on nose. @Kurt Schuster is spot on with the crystalline descriptor. The palate is more about the luscious fruit texture backed by sturdy acidity and a touch of RS rather than a lot of complexity. Where else can you get #grandcru #alsaceriesling other than #costco for ~$18?
