($18, Pasternak Wine Imports): Alsace Riesling usually highlights the mineral aspect of the varietal compared with the more floral expression of German Riesling.  Albrecht’s combines the best of both.  Less floral than many, the minerality extends onto the palate and intermingles with attractive spice.  The lively acidity adds a mouth-cleansing freshness that complements an enticing fleshiness in this dry Riesling. 88 Michael Apstein Sep 2, 2008
