($11, Loosen Brothers USA):  Dr. Loosen is a great German Riesling producer.  This wine is their basic rendition, made from grapes grown at various points along the Mosel River.  Wonderfully floral, the touch of sweetness is offset nicely by bracing acidity, which keeps it lively and prevents it from being cloying.  It conveys the delicate lacey quality that makes wines from the Mosel distinct and delightful.  It is equally at home as an aperitif as on the dinner table. 88. 88 Michael Apstein Apr 26, 2011
