[TN] '07 Cono Sur Riesling

Tonight, with a dinner of smoked wild-caught Alaskan salmon and
stir-fried vegatables, I opened:

2007 Cono Sur "Limited Release" Riesling ($7.99)
nose: petrol, stones, lime
palate: citrus, decent acidity, peach fruit, dry

Had I been served this wine blind, I would probably have guessed that I
was tasting a QbA Riesling from Germany. Good varietal character, clean
and fruity, it's not a profound wine, but a very good QPR Riesling.
