*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from F. Wildman Imports Tonight’s wine was the 2009 Hugel Riesling.

Continuing on with Thanksgiving wines, I picked up a couple bottles of Riesling. I like Riesling, and with a crowd of 15 for dinner, I thought it would go over well with all different wine tastes. Swinging by the Madison Wine Exchange a couple days before the big event I saw they had a bottle [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Gallo Family Wines. Cute packaging is usually not my thing. I often feel if you need to dress something up so much you are trying to hide whats really inside. This is not the case with the 2008 Polka Dot Riesling. With a screw cap closure, [...]
