Hosmer Winery Dry Riesling 2009

In my last post I gave high praises to Hosmer Winery's Rieslings that I tasted at the winery last Sunday.

Sometimes when on a wine tour or tasting at a local shop, you fall in love with what your tasting, buy a few, take them home and set yourself up for some disappointment.  But, I was so impressed with both the sweeter Riesling and the dry Riesling at Hosmer I could not wait to uncork one of them when I got home. I was going to wait  a day or two, but by 10pm I couldn't wait any longer. I just had to taste what was in that Hosmer bottle.
A very bright grassy color with light floral aromas and a lot of green apple.  Also some nice peach and a lemon/lime aroma with some slate.  Nice, nice mouthfeel.  Citrus in the back and sides and lots of apple, pear and melon with just a tad of sweetness.  Finish was sort of semi-long or moderate, very little sweetness and alot like jasmine tea with lemon.
I made myself a green garden salad and sprinkled on some crumbly blue cheese and proceeded to finish the wine.  So much for just wanting a glass before bed.  
I used the word amazing in my last post and I will use it again here.  The Hosmer Dry Riesling 2009 ($13) is amazing. Maybe the best New York Riesling this year.  Maybe the best New York wine this year.  Very hard to make that prediction now, I still have many more to taste and I know I brought some home that can challenge. If competition is going to be close, this is going to be one enjoyable summer.
