Bonny Doon Pacific Rim Dry Riesling
Bonny Doon Vineyard Pacific Rim Dry Riesling, CA
I’m always looking to try something new, so when I came across this eye-catching bottle I had to get it. This was my first Riesling. American Rieslings are hard to find, and even though Bonny Doon is a California vineyard, they blend grapes from Washington state and Mosel, Germany to make this wine. The results are fantastic! — tart, tangy, crisp and refreshing, a big white that wont wilt when paired with flavorful foods. And unlike so many lesser whites, it manages to be crisp and tart without overwhelming acidity. It’s a terrific wine and a refreshing change from the ordinary.
