Fess Parker White Riesling

It’s a well known fact among my circle of friends that my favorite wine varietal happens to be Riesling. When I find a GREAT Riesling, I’m particularly enthusiastic about it. I would rank Fess Parker among the best I’ve had.

This is a well-balanced Riesling that I would classify as off-dry. On the nose, I detected honeysuckle and melon. On the palate is a delightful melange of melon, peach and apricot with a finishing tang of pineapple. The alcohol content is listed as 12.5 %.

At about $14.00 a bottle, I would not classify this as an every day wine (I tend to keep everyday favorites under $10.00 a bottle), but it is a great choice for when you want something just a little special.
