Winery Review: “Snap
Dragon Riesling is a crisp off-dry wine with apple blossom aromas, pear and
peach flavors, and a lingering finish. A perfect wine to drink by itself or
pair with seafood dishes or spicy Asian food.”
Personal Review:
I was excited to try a Riesling today because I don’t believe I have ever tasted
one, although it turned out to be a slightly disappointing experience. The wine
smelled a lot like plastic and honestly reminded me of walking into a stale,
dusty room! After getting past the dusty smell, I could sense a slight pear or
apple aroma with some sweetness to it. It had a surprisingly smooth taste and
was very thin compared to the red wines I am typically used to drinking. I
believe it had the “buttery” taste Dr. Boyer has been discussing in class. It
was too sweet for my taste, but others I was with seemed to really enjoy it. I
was also not a fan of the minor plastic aftertaste it left in my mouth. It was
recommended to us that this wine would go well with Asian or Thai meals, so
perhaps I would have enjoyed this wine more with food.
