Columbia Valley Riesling

Tried this in class and I am glad to have tasted, as this is absolutely not for me. It was far too sweet. On a more positive note, I could see someone with a sweeter tooth enjoying a glass or two, however anything more than that would make me sick based on the sugar content alone, which I remember to be around .2%. The wine had notes of citrus, which I look for in whites, but overall it was too sweet for my palate, and I typically look for a more dry white.

Compared to the dry, this is very sweet to taste. Almost too sweet. The sugar content is around .2%. This was paired with a salty cracker which made the sweetness really burst. Not a huge fan. It was interesting to taste the difference between this one and the dry. I get similar notes on the nose (citrus and ginger) but it’s very different when settling on my taste buds.
