some information on US rieslings
 

Hi,

Just received two bottles of riesling from some friends. The thing is
that I don't know anything about USA produced wines, so could someone
help me with some information ?

The first riesling is : Lamoreaux Landing, Finger Lakes, it's a dry
riesling 2003

The 2nd is : Dr. Konstantin Frank, Finger Lakes, it's also dry 2003

I would like to have some more background information on these two
wines. Can I keep them for a while or do they need to be drunk quickly,
etc...

Thx a lot,

Xavier

Here is one of the area's official websites:

And here is a 1997 tasting analysis:

I generally haven't found that NY rieslings can last more than three years
max, but maybe someone else on this board has had different experiences.
