I had a typical tourist experience with this wine. Went to the winery on a recommendation from a friend while on vacation, and loved it. We had some sent home and didn't know if we would like it when we weren't surrounded by the magic of vacation. Turns out we still love it.
Sweet like a reisling, but not anywhere near as cloyingly sweet as you would expect. Beautiful sweet summer afternoon wine. It tastes more like a reisling with overtones of pineapple. We just ordered another box for the holidays. If you're only happy with dry and deeply complex whites you won't enjoy it. But if you also appreciate light and sweet, this experiment in pineapple wine is a must-try.

Pleasant home wine. Decent without food. Lightly jammy. Acceptably decent, but not the full on jammy fruit forward face plant I'm hoping for when I'm in the mood for jammy-pants winter wine. — 9 years ago
