Bex Riesling 2006, Mosel, $10

This is a simple Riesling - semi-dry (meaning it has a touch of sweetness but doesn't really come off as sweet, because its acid keeps it in balance) - with textbook flavors of apricot and peach. No complexity, really, no slatey minerality, nothing to suggest it should inspire poetry or revolutions. But it is just the type of wine every Chinese restaurant should be hoarding to offer under $20 a bottle. It will moo goo my gai pan just nicely, thank you!

i agree, but I would say it has more than a touch of sweetness. I am drinking it right now and it tastes sweet.
