($18, Old Bridge Cellars): Australian Rieslings, such as this one, continue to captivate.  The delight this wine delivers should come as no surprise.  The Watervale area of the Clare Valley is especially well known for top-notch Riesling, and Kilikanoon is an excellent producer.  Its bracing dry laser-like focus and the lime-like citrus quality tingle the palate.  It’s long and cutting, in an uplifting way.  A versatile wine, it’s perfect for cutting this summer’s heat and humidity, for sushi, or with spicy Asian fare.
