Charlie,
That sounds great but you may want to consider adding some
Gewürztraminer too, the spicy character of a Gewurz marries really
well with Riesling.

I have been making California Riesling by Regina also and am thinking
it is getting pretty insipid; it's just too thin. I'm considering
freezing a portion and pitching the Ice when thawed about 1/3 of the
way. If I do it I'll post the results. I usually blend some PA or NY
wines with my California whites to make them more interesting. I make
it dry because I prefer dry whites.
