Meyer lemon, tangerine, apple cider and honeysuckle. As far as mouthfeel, it is a touch flabby.

A sweet Riesling. Balanced and delightful but a bit sweet. Tiniest hint of gasoline in the 2nd glass after a bit of rest.

A handsome, brash, sexy gas-station attendant who smiles real pretty, but probably ain't all that good. But yeah...lotsa fun.

Musty floral nose, puckering peach and citrus flower are robust on the nose and the glass. Quick finish and rather crisp.
