Naked Riesling

Naked Riesling

I believe that this Riesling was very good the first few times I had it.  Good enough that we bought several bottles.  I recall it being smooth and not too sweet or bitter.  Perhaps on the level of a cabinet.

One thing that I must state is that this wine should not be stored in a sun room.  No wine should ever be stored in a room that turns into a greenhouse everyday.  This made my last experience with this wine not very good.

That being said I do think that this wine is a very good wine.  There is nothing wrong with the flavor.  It is very smooth and drinkable as any good Riesling should be.  It isn’t amazing, but it is good.

This wine would pare well with fish and pork.  Pork maybe even better than the fish.  I would definitely serve this wine to guests.

I would rate this wine a 4/5.

King’s Estate – Pinot Gris

Awful, truly one of the worst wines I have had that hadn’t turned to vinegar.  I tried 2 different bottles just to make sure it wasn’t a bad bottle or just me.  King’s Estate has a fantastic Pinot Noir, but this Pinot Gris is horrid.

Seriously, do not buy this particular wine.  I cannot understand how one company can make 2 wines on the opposite ends of the spectrum, but as much as their Pinot Noir is great, their Pinot Gris is terrible.

I poured this wine out and I suspect you would too.

1/5 stars on the Linda Scale.

Do not serve this wine to anyone.
