Wine Tasting: 2013 Honey Bee Sweet Riesling

Tonight's wine is Honey Bee Sweet Riesling.  I was looking for a new wine at my local shop to pair with the Cajun dishes I make often.  I generally prefer semi-sweet with my Cajun dishes, but I decided to go ahead and try their recommendation.

Tasting Notes:
Blonde in color with light rubber and citrus aromas. Fully bodied and sweet, but not overpoweringly so. Pineapple, vanilla, and honey with also some lemon citrus notes.

Final Thoughts:
I like it.  Quite tasty and while slightly sweeter than I prefer with my Cajun dishes, it still worked nicely enough.

On a side note, this is the first wine that I ever had to add to CellarTracker.com. I've added new vintages, but never an entirely new wine.

Wine Tasting: 2014 Selbach-Oster Riesling feinherb

Tonight's wine comes at the recommendation of a G+ wine friend of mine (+Margret P.) I haven't tried too many Rieslings, but the ones I've had. I've been quite impressed with.  Margret gave me a few recommendations, and this was one of them.

Tasting Notes:
Straw in color.  Aromas of citrus fruit, honeydew and rubber.  Flavors of Limon, light grapefruit, and pear.  A slightly highened acidity, though it works well with the vivid citrus structure.  It's smooth even with the acidiy and has a bit more body that I expected.

Final Thoughts:
Almost Sauvignon Blanc like, yet it still has the Riesling character.  Very interesting, and very good!
