($15, American Wine Distributors): The name of the wine reflects that the owners, John and Bridgett Forrest, both have PhDs.  These smart people need to convey on the label the style of Riesling that’s in the bottle because it’s a touch sweet and consumers expecting dry Riesling will be startled.  But that should not dissuade anyone from running out and buying the wine.  Deliciously delicate and lacey, its Spatlese-like sweetness is beautifully offset and balanced by invigorating acidity.  It reminds me of an excellent Spatlese from the Mosel.  It’s perfect as a stand-alone aperitif, refreshing as the warm weather approaches, and a magical accompaniment to spicy Asian fare.
