White Wines--Riesling, Moscato

I really need to get caught up on posting.  This semester has been rather crazy, and unfortunately I’m not referring to the kitchen.  I tried Barefoot’s Riesling and Moscato wines over a month ago, and haven’t gotten around to posting my opinions of them.  I can barely remember the difference between them, so if I mix them up, don’t blame me :-)

I always like Riesling.  Sometimes it’s a bit strong, but for the most part it’s my perfect go-to white wine.  It’s definitely not too sweet, like White Zinfandel can often be, though it is considered rather sweet in comparison with other whites.  I think I had this last with some sushi and it was good.  It’s also great with cheese.

The Moscato I had never heard of before, but it ended up being rather good.  More citrus-y (that’s a technical wine-snob term) than the Riesling, but still not overpowering.  I would buy both of these again.

Next year, I might even try some red wines (though those are always hit-or-miss with me)…maybe.
