Wine Review: This yellow colored Riesling opens with a mild clementine and faint lime like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium to full bodied and shows off rich ripe flavors and nice off-setting acidity. The flavor profile is a very mild mineral infused ripe orange and pear blend. The finish remains sweet and its flavors linger for quite some time after the wine is gone. This wine would pair well with Thai food. Chicken satay with peanut sauce came to mind first. Enjoy – Ken

Your comments on this wine:





Clinking Glasses Before Tasting Wine: Originates from medieval times. Milk was often spoiled, water was often polluted. Wine was usually safe. The host would drink the wine first and then clink glasses with guests to show the wine was good and safe for drinking.
