Pretty serviceable riesling, that we enjoyed at a friends 50th B-Day celebration. Some citrus and a slight sweet diesel aroma on the nose. Light-medium bodied but went great w/the Thai food we all enjoyed. Tasty enough, and great w/Asian cuisine.

I bought this at Grocery Outlet for $4 per bottle and wasn't expecting too much.
Nose: This wine didn't present of much of a nose, just a clean smell with faint notes of lemon and pineapple
Taste: Citrusy, mild grapefruit, lemon and mango
Finish: Mild and tart, mainly a continuation of lemon and tropical fruit flavors
This came across as a nicely balanced, simple yet elegant riesling that was not too sweet, but not entirely dry either. In short, I found it rather tasty. While it wasn't the best I have ever had, I think it easily competes with some Washington riesling's I have recently tasted in the $15-20 price range

Feels like some skin contact.
John, the wine maker notes "this wine has morphed allot." Its taken on a bit of a strachy note.

Sam B's: Six Varietals (Bowling Green, OH): Honey apple nose, with a little cinnamon. Medium sweetness, light acidity to the point of being flabby. Simple. $15ish
