Weekday Wine: Washington Riesling (Kung Fu Girl 2006, $12)
July 15, 2008 |
This week’s Weekday Wine is yet another winner. The Kung Fu Girl Riesling 2006 is not dry, but it’s also not a dessert wine. Picture, instead, a light-to-medium bodied white that’s about medium in sweetness (kind of like lemonade) and super refreshing when chilled (again, kind of like lemonade).
We found scents and flavors of peach and pear with a little bit of lime on the finish. We bought our bottle on special at $11.95, but frankly, we’d have gladly parted with the normal price of $17 if we had to.
Considering its price, taste, and the handy screwtop, Kung Fu Girl’s 2006 Riesling is – hands down – our favorite chilled wine thus far this year.
Where to get it: We bought our bottle at California Wine Merchant in San Francisco’s Marina District. You can also find it using the Snooth search function under “Wine Locator” in the right hand column of this page, or by visiting wine-searcher.com or
