Frisk Prickly Riesling 2010

Victoria, AustraliaWait a minute didn't you just warn us about goofy names and labels. Yep, but sometimes the wine is better than the label and riesling gets the benefit of the doubt since we have so few to choose from. This one is simple, it's fresh, off-dry and the prickly thing is a bit of unfermented juice put back in the bottle to offer up some natural spritz. Nectarines, lemon sherbet, floral powder, limes you name it it's all here. Chill this down and order Thai food. Did I mention it is only 8 percent alcohol?Tasted: 13 July 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
