Wagner Vineyards Select Riesling 2017 Review
Petroleum galore with some sugared fruit makes up most of this wine. If you don't enjoy either of these characteristics, then this is not for you. There is enough acidity to brighten the wine up a bit but damn it’s sweet; almost bittersweet. You are guaranteed to mute any heat in a spicy dish from a spicy menu. At this price, it would be a good last minute pick up for a BYOB.
