My Review:  
I really enjoyed this Riesling! A friend I were going to be eating food from the Himalayan Curry Cafe near the USB Kroger and wanted to pair a wine with the food. After some internet research we decided to purchase this wine and really enjoyed it. Before the food, the wine had hints of pineapple, green apple, and lime. The aromas were floral and refreshing and I could tell right away that it would be a sweet wine. After pairing it with the curry pork and rice, the wine flavors seemed to evolve. The wine became less sour/sweet, and the fruit flavors became bolder with an new flavor of mango. The wine was crisp and clean, and pleasantly fruity and pair great with the curry food. Minimal alcohol and acid tastes both before and after eating the curry pork.
