An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!

2004 Cousino-Macul Riesling "Dona Isadora" (Maipo Valley, Chile)
87.  I like this one a lot.  It's a really good value in an Alsace-style Riesling.  Intense nose of earthy-minerally scents, limes, and green apple.  Really nice persistence in the mouth.  In the crisp, dry style, this would be great with shellfish or shrimp.  About $9 a bottle at Whole Foods on Bellaire.
