Stone fruit, crisp with texture and off dry. Good California Riesling

Not your supermarket variety riesling. Crisp without being too acidic. Notes of citrus and pear.

Not my favorite Zinfandel, but this doesn't hurt my feelings. It's ripe enough, smooth enough but lacks the spice I prefer in the grape.

Lots of ripe red fruit here (ripe plums and rasberries) with some notes of dried fruits as well (cherry). A bit of spice and herbal notes on the finish Good acidity, low tannins. Pairs nicely with pasta dishes with meat ragu sauce

Juicy floral nose, hint of minerality. Bracing acidity and tons of peaches on the palate. Super nom nom nom. Amazeballs with truffle fries

I absolutely love this Riesling. On the dry side (which I prefer). It can stand alone, or be paired with rich mac n'cheese, truffle fries, and spare ribs.

Haven't had this in a while and still tastes good, and was glad to find it on the menu at Fog City Diner. More on the dry side for a riesling with a lot of minerality an a hint of stone fruit on the finish.
