2005 Blue Fish Riesling
September 19, 2006
My friends J and C brought a bottle of Blue Fish Riesling over for a party and didn't open it and left it. And then I drank it. Woo-hoo!!
An easy-drinking Riesling from Pfalz in a cool bottle (Yeah, I appreciate packaging, especially when it's around a German wine that actually has easy-to-read lettering).
Not overly sweet. Not overly acidic. A whopping 12.5% ABV, so it's definitely not a breakfast wine. And at only about 9 bucks, a good value to my mind, and pleasurable and fun. The screw-top is a bonus. Don't drink this one too cold or you won't taste much at all.
I have to compare it to my favorite: at this price point and given the choice, I'd stick with Dr. L Riesling for a dollar less. It's got more zippidy and doodah if you ask me. And you won't get as drunk drinking it.
