It’s Grüner Veltliner. Hence, I wanted to try it. I had been in M&S, doing other shopping, when somehow this caught my eye. Being a bit of a Grüner Veltliner fan, as you may have noticed, I figured I’d try it. Not like I don’t have a backlog of other wines to review. This got […]

Rosewood Mead Blanc 2022, Niagara, Canada
This one gets marks for Unusualicity right off the bat, for two reasons. First, I do believe it is my first Canadian wine. Second, it has honey in it. No, really. 97% Riesling, and 3% honey, according to the label. No, make that three reasons. It lists the ABV as 12.8%. You usually see ABV […]
