Funf Riesling 2008

Rheinhessen, GermanyThere are many ways to look at a wine like Fünf Riesling beginning with what does Fünf mean. Although it sounds like fun, it really means five as in it's five o'clock let's have some fun and drink riesling. Wine snobs will dismiss this bottle out of hand from its frosted white appearance to its crazy name - too much brand not enough wine. Wine lovers however, should give it a chance and you may find the right spot for it and enjoy it for what it is - a fresh, easy-sipping 9 per cent luncheon wine with a bit of residual sugar that can double as a patio icebreaker. Oh and try not to have too much fun at least until five o'clock.Tasted: 25 May 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
