Willm Reserve Riesling 2008
17 Jan 2010Place: France Price: $11.99 Aroma: Lemons, Citrus Peel Taste: Very Short Flavors Detected: Pear, Lemon Jolly Rancher I got this Riesling because I decided to make a food & wine pairing tonight – shrimp and bok choy stir-fry. The recipe recommended a citrusy, off-dry Riesling from New Zealand. The wine store had zero Rieslings from [...]

Kung Fu Girl Riesling 2008
In: Riesling|Washington|White
22 Nov 2009Place: Washington Price: $13.99 Aroma: Pineapple, peach, melon, lemon peel, grass Taste: Short Body Flavors Detected: Grassy, melon skins, lemony This was another wine chosen purely on the label. I was browsing the Riesling area when this bottle caught my eye. Fun label? Check! Fun name? Check! It also had a little recommended tag and was [...]

Place: Germany Price: $10.99 Aroma: Butter, Toffee, Oranges Taste: Smooth, Bit Sour Flavors Detected: Pineapple Another week, another good Riesling. Although this doesn’t quite compare to the Dr. Konstantin Frank Riesling for me it is a good wine. I am not a fan of sweet wines and the sour bite to this definitely helped cancel out the sweet. [...]

Dr. Konstantin Frank Dry Riesling 2007
16 Oct 2009Place: New York Price: $19.99 Aroma: Pineapple, Apple Taste: Dry, Not Sickly Flavors Detected: Apple, Honey, Minerals Yum! This is my favorite Riesling ever – well so far anyways. I pretty much only buy Rieslings because Andy really likes them. They have made me sick to my stomach on more than one occasion, but this one is genuinely good! Even [...]

Beaulieu Vineyard Chardonnay 2005
26 Apr 2009Place: California Price: $16.99 Aroma: Forest, Lemon, Grass Color: Green Gold Taste: Sour Flavors Detected: Mineral, Stemmy This was not a successful wine for us. It had none of the citrus, oak, pear, or vanilla that’s commonly found in chardonnays, which would be fine if what it had actually tasted good. The pee color was also particularly unappealing along with its [...]

Place: California Price: $12.99 Aroma: Apple, Pineapple, Steely Oak Color: Pale White Gold Taste: Light Body Flavors Detected: Diffused Peach This wine was nothing special for us. The graphic on the bottle was far more exciting than the wine inside. It’s a very shallow wine and has very little taste and that taste isn’t much. It’s certainly not [...]

Tyrell’s Wines Chardonnay 2006
In: Australia|Chardonnay|White
28 Mar 2009Place: Australia Price: $12 Aroma: Peach Color: Pale Yellow Taste: Light, Refreshing Flavors Detected: Hay, Minerals This is not a very fruity chardonnay. The main notes are hay and minerals with a slight touch of peach. I bought this wine because it’s made in the Hunter Valley wine region of Australia. The Hunter Valley is about an hour away from Sydney [...]

Boutari Moschofilero 2007
In: Greece|Moschofilero|White
27 Mar 2009Place: Greece Price: $13.99 Aroma: Pineapple, Honey, Oranges, Fruity, Syrupy, Mango Color: Pale Taste: Surprisingly Dry Flavors Detected: Tangerine, Cantaloupe Rind, Light Woodiness This wine is pretty average by itself, but paired with Shrimp Saganaki it was amazing. This was our most successful pairing by far. The shrimp saganaki is a really simple and quick dish to make, and [...]

B Lovely Late Harvest Riesling 2007
In: Riesling|Washington|White
8 Mar 2009Place: Washington Price: $12 Aroma: Honey, Peach, Pineapple Color: Golden Taste: Sweet Flavors Detected: Honey, Peach, Pineapple Okay, so I usually end up picking out most of the wine and I like pretty bottles and labels. I picked up this Riesling at this awesome wine store in Virginia called Total Wine. They had something like 8,000 bottles [...]
