DaMa Riesling 2006

This Riesling is everything a good Riesling should set out to be. True to the varietal, it's sugary sweet. But it has more to offer than your garden-variety grocery store Riesling. Like a newborn kitten that's been frolicking in a bakery, it's soft and fuzzy with hints of ginger and honey.

If you like sweet white wine, or if you're making scallops in cream sauce with red bell pepper for dinner tonight, you need a bottle. You need a bottle right this minute.

PRICE: $16 at Walla Walla Wine Cellar
DRINKABILITY: Everything you love about the Grape Nehi, but without all the baggage. I am woman, hear me roar.
SNOB VALUE: A great conversation piece for your next Oprah's Book Club meeting—wines made by women, for women. Now that's highbrow.
WHERE TO FIND IT: DaMa Wines, Walla Walla Wine Cellar
FAMOUS LAST WORDS: Take a bottle—shake it up! Break the bubble—break it up! Pour some sugar on me...

If any of you readers are in the great town of Walla Walla I highly recommend swinging by their tasting room. Dawn and Mary are beautiful people and you will enjoy your visit.
