Looking for a good white that will please any wine palate ranging from the experienced wine drinkers to the not-very-often?

You can’t go wrong with a Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling.

Here’s the description from the wine maker’s website:  Our Columbia Valley Riesling is a blend of Riesling from throughout Washington’s Columbia Valley. The wine offers crisp apple and white peach aromas and flavors with subtle mineral notes. This is a go-to Riesling that is incredibly refreshing, flavorful and easy to pair with a variety of foods.

That’s an accurate description, it is indeed refreshing and flavorful.  I enjoyed it with Vicki S. on a date night, she ordered in sushi from Wasabi, I brought the wine.

In opening the bottle I was hit with a light surge of pear.  In the sip you get more of that pear, followed by the apple, white peach and apricot notes.   It’s nicely balanced, not too dry, not too sweet and paired quite nicely with the sushi.

Costing me $9.99, I’m giving the Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling 4 out of 5 Bachelor on the Cheap stars.  Easy to drink, this wine is Bachelor on the Cheap wallet friendly and worthy of a repeat buy.  Versatile, this wine is a no brainer to take to any dinner party, pairing well with mild cheeses (think charcuterie board), salads and seafood.  If you know what is being served for dinner this Riesling is a great match for Chinese, Thai, Tex-Mex and roast pork.
