Tasting - Chateau Morrisette

Name:  Our Dog Blue
Variety:  Riesling-Traminette Blend
Region:  Virginia
Country:  USA
Price:  $10.99

Winery Review:  This popular white wine is a semi-sweet Riesling-Traminette blend, using Vidal Blanc for added depth. Aromas of melons, citrus fruits, apricots, and delicate flowers highlight the soft finish of this soothing wine. 

My Review:  In the wine glass this wine is a very light yellow.  This blend had a very floral aroma and smelled specifically of honeysuckle. It is very light and crisp on the palate.  This table wine was a little sweeter than I would have liked for a semi-sweet wine.  However, it was still a good wine for the price and seemed like it would pair well with a nice tomato and pasta dish.

I drank this wine with a blue-cheese salad and the sweetness brought out the spices in the dressing.
