Hugel & Fils Classic Riesling 2016 Review
This wine is ok. It’s everywhere, and it’s balanced enough that if you see it and need it (BYOB, Big ol’ party) it will be fine. The nose is balanced, but the palate goes a little heavy from the bite of petrol, but it’s a good foil for greasy and spicy food.
