2016 LOVE & SQUALOR RIESLING
WILLAMETTE VALLEY
$13.99 BTL./$167.88 CASE

Matt Berson is a superb Oregon Riesling specialist and one who makes wines that age very well. Get over your fears of Riesling and stop the bullmerde stereotyping.

Riesling is produced into various levels of dryness including all the way to some of the grandest dessert wines in the world. The 2016 gives a kiss of fruitiness up front before giving way to dazzling dry and explosive dryness. Think of a Vegas Revue of Game of Thrones Red Wedding. Perfect for mussels, smoked fish or grilled bratwurst.
