I can’t order wine out here, but I bought this riesling at the liquor store a while back.
My Dad’s a sucker for rieslings, so when there was a thing going on at his place, I took the bottle intending to share it with him.
Well we didn’t get to it that night, but he ended up getting through it. Without me.
So keep it all for yourself.

Sadly no shipping to Michigan 
I remember having one of their rieslings (maybe '07?) not too long ago and that it was fairly tasty. At ~$9 shipped to your door, I would have been in for one
I have enjoyed this brand in the past and this is a good price - they do make a Dry Riesling too so bummer it isn’t offered here with the regular. Also (alas) the shipping list is very limited
Pacific Rim’s online site: $10 a bottle.

As it’s a lower alcohol content, would you say it’s sweeter than your average riesling? I see it classified as “Medium Dry”…
looks pretty. i.e. nice for gifting especially this jumbo pack which is a good value
Still no shipping to NM But as it was mentioned you more than likely can find these at you local store, except I can not find the sparklers at any of my local stores. I have 3 of their rieslings in my cellar now of different varieties.
I purchased my Pacific Rim at Whole Foods, but you can also find them in Walgreens, Costco, Kellys, and Sunflower Market. I believe I paid around $9.99 or $10.99 a bottle.
a few notes on this particular 2010 Riesling…Nicoalas the winemaker is over in Germany right now.
Why we make this Riesling: This is the newest wine of our portfolio (first vintage was 2009) and quite frankly is an attempt to fill a gap in our lineup as well as capitalizing on the largest Riesling category in the country. The Riesling sweetness profile is sandwiched between the Dry Riesling and the Sweet Riesling. This style is what people use to call Johannesburg Riesling before 2005, the last year the name for which the moniker was authorized.
Grape Sourcing: This is mainly a Yakima Valley blend with much fruit from the Hogue ranches, and Black Rock vineyard.
2010 vintage fun fact: Very cool vintage, so we have left a bit more RS – about 3%. The main grape sourcing for this wine has been Hogue ranches for two years – they seem to be our Apricot secret ingredient.
Although I’m not too fond of the higher RS Rieslings, the pH on this is nice, so I’m happy to try it. My cousin and sister are just learning to enjoy wine, and they always mention they like “sweeter” Rieslings. Although this may not be “sweet”, I think they will enjoy it. For some reason they trust me to choose their wines!
when you order from their site you get free shipping on six or more bottles, don’t know if they can do all states from there, and it costs a bit more, but you can mix, regular, dry and sweet reislings as well as some other wines, and my order came really fast, just FYI
I tried their sweet riesling a few years ago. It was an obscenely sugary wine. So if this is a compromise between their sweet and dry as the description says, I’d still be wary of the sweetness.
You can also get these from wine.com for $9.29/bottle with 1 cent shipping available if you buy a case (can be a mixed case, doesn’t have to be all 1 wine). The woot price works out to $9.17 if you buy 6, $8.75 if you buy 12.
wine-searcher lists 6 merchants offering it for $7.99 or less although shipping may be costly.
I have one bottle of this and apparently put mine under a duplicate listing on CT.
EDIT: wine.com also offers the dry and sweet versions for the same $9.29 price as well as PR Gewurz, so for an extra $6.49 (plus sales tax, if applicable) vs. the wine.woot price for a case you can mix and match all 3 versions and the Gewurz, plus it will ship to just about any state that normally allows it.
Already have a favorite “Go-to” Riesling producer. Also one of the handful of wine.woots that does not ship to NV.
$8 bottle here…

Love the bottle.
I’m very inexperienced with wines, but I stumbled on the sweet riesling at a fairly nice restaurant while working on the road and had to track it down. Isn’t it funny when you discover something that costs $9 a glass is $10 a bottle?
I have not tried this one yet and the fact that woot has a Riesling makes me want to jump on it but… I don’t know. $55 for 6 bottles is about $9.10/bottle. That is a good price, but I know it only costs about $10 or $11 locally… and technically if I wanted that much wine a local store gives 10% off any 6 bottles. I guess you don’t pay tax though.
So - I can say this is probably an incredible wine… can’t say the deal is showstopping, but it is a deal. Maybe I’ll pick up this bottle tomorrow and see if I want 6 more tonight 
for those new to Riesling, here’s a great 'Riesling 101" video by the Pacific Rim team.

$7.99 at Costco…so this price seems equivalent:
http://www.goodcheapvino.com/pinot-noir-wines-top-our-bargain-selections-of-the-week-october-31/
“Pacific Rim Riesling $7.99 Costco (Joe’s Pick)
Pacific Rim 2010 RieslingThis is the number one bargain wine in Wine Enthusiasts Top 100 Wines of the Year. I’m recommending this wine with reservation. It has too much sweetness for me so I won’t be buying more, but many folks like a tad of sweetness in Rieslings. The wine has good Riesling flavors and with the sweetness will go well with spicy foods or foods that have some sweetness to them.”

Let me know when you start shipping to more than only 14 states, specifically NM. Then you’ll have at least 1 most customer.
