About Riesling

One of the world's great grapes. Distinctive floral bouquet with balancing acidity. Grows best in cool areas where grapes ripen slowly. Subject to " noble rot", making wines of great richness and sweetness. Low alcohol.

    Wine was sampled by five dinner guests and only one liked the wine and that person is not a wine lover. Please do not send any more white wines. I prefer cabs. Thanks....Rick

    Marvellous multi-layers of taste. Suprising complexity for a Riesling.

    I am not a good candidate to rate this wine as I only like really dry wine. This wine was too sweet for me.

    This is a good riesling, but I can get similar quality wines in the Pacific Northwest for around $7 a bottle. Crisp, clean and light, but I'm sure your shipping costs far exceed the price I'd pay for a similar bottle of riesling.

    Both my Fiance and I are rather big fans of Rieslings. This one has been the best that we have tried by far. It has a very subtle taste and isn't too dry or too bitter. It is the perfect desert wine as far as we are concerned.

    The wines were very good but i would like to cancel my account i never recieved my free gift. And that's what caught my eye was the zippered bag that held two bottles and glasses and a cork screw. And i have talked to someone about last month and said they were sending it to me and didn't so please close this account

    4.5: excellent riesling. both my fiance and i enjoyed it even though he generally prefers the sweeter rieslings and i prefer the dryer rieslings. great stand-alone summer wine or nice to pair with spicy food.

    4.5 I consider myself an amateur expert on Rieslings and this one rates right up there in the top five. I highly recommend this one.

    This is an excellent Riesling, and has a light smooth finish. I especially enjoyed the slight effervesence and the fact that it is not as sweet as traditional Rieslings. I would reccomend this wine to friends without hesitation.
