No question, positive thinking is good, but that makes so much more sense when you have a joyful and expressive wine like this (50 shades of lemon!) in the glass. Juicy yet delicate flavors keep you hanging on in there. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Shortly after Martin Tesch took over his family’s 300-year-old winery in 1996, he began moving the production toward dry wines. Now his portfolio is entirely dry—some might say uncompromisingly so. This one, from a steep parcel of weathered red sandstone and loess, is strict and steely, its lemony flavors throwing off sparks as they soar on an arc of acidity. Tri-Vin, New Rochelle, NY

Orchard fruit flavors of apple and green pear add dimension to the racy, citrusy acidity in this lively, focused Riesling. Elegance and finesse make this approachable, but the acidity is still electrifying. Best from 2022 through 2028. 1,200 cases made, 400 cases imported. — AZ
