Wine Review: It's back, the sweetly effervescent Riesling from Down Under that's an over-the-top hit. From Frisk: "This zippy Riesling is floral and weighted, with notes of lime sorbet, rose petals and a hint of fennel. With its racy verve, subtle complexity and just a tinge of sweetness, it’s a perfect companion for both sweet and spicy dishes...or simply on its own. Refreshingly complex on the palate, it will make you wonder how you emptied your glass so quickly - and have you reaching for another." (klwines.com)
My Review: The wine smelled really sweet, but did not have a lot else going on. There was more heat than I was expecting, and it was generic until the extra sweet finish. It had some bubbles when we poured it, and it almost seemed a tad carbonated. I would rate this a 3-4; I would drink it if it were served at a party, and would maybe purchase it myself.
Food: I had this wine with parmesan cheese and garlic cheddar cheese and crackers.
