May Wine Pick: Washington Hills Late Harvest Riesling 2017


The entire month of May will be Riesling Month on TheWineStalker.net, so all of the full reviews will be Rieslings! I've got six Rieslings from Germany, one from Virginia, and this one from Washington State. But Riesling isn't all that's going on this month! Also penciled in are four wine quickies from my good friends at Matchbook, three wine quickies from Navarra (Spain), maybe canned cocktail reviews, and hopefully Part 2 of my Sake series, Just Brew It. And of course, things will be added as the month goes on.

But what I'm really excited about is the premier post of a monthly series called Wine Bloggers Off-Topic, where every month I'll ask wine bloggers and other people in the social media wine community a question that has nothing to do with wine. We write so much about this one topic that it's a nice escape to write about other passions and opinions once in awhile, and their answer can be as long or short as they want it. The first question is "What is the perfect movie?" and will be published on the 14th. If you'd like to participate in this series, just let me know! I've already got some great people signed up!

My wine pick of the month is the 2017 vintage of one of my favorite Rieslings in the $11 price range (a hot spot for the average consumer); Washington Hills Late Harvest Riesling. It's 100% Riesling sourced from the Pleasant and Cowan vineyards in Washington, and the fruit was late harvested to increase sugar levels for sweetness. It has an ABV of 10.5%.

The color of the wine is a pale straw yellow. The nose is dominated with honeysuckle with sidekick aromas of pear juice, oranges, and white flowers. On the palate it's medium bodied and has a wonderful balance of sweetness and acidity. There's flavors of crisp red apples, sweet pear juice, and succulent peaches. Then it finishes crisp but still with a lingering sweetness and the flavors of apples and pears.

It's just sooooo yummy! I am very happy that this wine is in my life. Hell, I'm very happy that Riesling is in my life. It's going to be a great month!

    I downloaded a crypto wallet app that appeared legitimate, complete with a sleek interface and positive user reviews. Trusting my instincts, I deposited a substantial amount of $180,000 into the wallet, convinced that I was making a wise investment. However, my optimism quickly turned to despair when I woke up one morning to find that the entire platform had vanished overnight, along with my hard-earned money. The scammers had executed their plan flawlessly, shutting down the app and leaving me with nothing but empty promises and a drained account. In a state of panic and fury, I scoured the internet for solutions, desperately seeking a way to recover my lost funds. It was during this frantic search that I stumbled upon Passcode Cyber Recovery , a company that specializes in tracking and recovering stolen cryptocurrency. Intrigued and hopeful, I reached out to their team, who moved swiftly to address my situation. The experts at Passcode Cyber Recovery identified the scammer’s accounts and were working diligently with legal authorities to freeze those assets. While I understood that no recovery is guaranteed, Passcode Cyber Recovery provided me with a fighting chance, something I had thought was impossible after the app had disappeared without a trace. Their professionalism and expertise instilled a sense of hope in me during a time of despair. This traumatic experience taught me two critical lessons that I wish I had learned before: first, never trust unverified wallet apps, and second, never deposit large sums of money without conducting thorough research. Scammers are adept at designing platforms that look legitimate, only to pull the rug out from under unsuspecting users when they least expect it. If you find yourself in a similar situation, having already been victimized by a fraudulent wallet or exchange, don’t lose hope.

  3. Fake Wallet App Scam review // PASSCODE CYBER RECOVERY

    What began as a straightforward effort to manage my crypto savings quickly turned into a distressing ordeal. I had been holding Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP, and decided to download what seemed to be a legitimate cryptocurrency wallet app from the App Store. The interface was flawless, closely resembling the official wallet I had previously used. With no apparent warning signs, I felt secure enough to transfer $850,000 worth of Bitcoin into the app. A few days later, I opened the app to check my balance, only to be met with shock when my crypto account displayed a balance of zero. I attempted to refresh the app, hoping it was just a temporary glitch, but the grim truth soon became clear: I had fallen prey to a sophisticated scam. The app was a fraudulent imitation, designed solely to deceive users and siphon off their funds.I contacted Passcode Cyber Recovery, a cybersecurity firm renowned for recovering stolen digital assets. Their team promptly initiated an investigation into the scam. Within days, they traced the counterfeit wallet app back to a developer located overseas, who had a history of similar fraudulent activities. I soon learned that I was not alone, this was part of a larger scheme targeting cryptocurrency users worldwide. Thanks to Passcode Cyber Recovery , I managed to recover all of the money I had lost. The recovery process was intense, but their efforts paid off, and I was able to retrieve the full amount of $850,000. This has reinforced my commitment to safeguarding my digital assets. I now thoroughly vet app developers and only trust links from the official websites of reputable crypto platforms. While the incident was both financially and emotionally taxing, the successful recovery of my funds has provided me with a sense of relief and security moving forward.
