Firehose Riesling 2006

California, United StatesFirehose, as in put out the fire in your mouth with this sweet riesling isn't exactly subtle but if the dish is hot this sweet peachy soft white with a dusting of riesling character should get the job done. What I don't get is why this "New Release" is a 2006 and cork finished. It should at least be 2007 and finished under screwcap otherwise what's the point. Nobody young enough or hip enough to drink riesling with Thai, Indian or Chinese food isn't interested in cork finished riesling.Tasted: 26 July 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
