Variety - Ribolla Gialla
Region - Friuli
Country - Italy
Year - 2009
Price - $21; however, it was on sale at the Vintage Cellar for $7.95.
Wine Review - This well-priced Friulano would pair nicely with spicy Indian or Thai food thanks to the creaminess and richness of its mouth feel. In addition, the wine offers a solid bouquet of peach and melon that would not compete with fragrant ingredients. 100% Ribolla Gialla. This wine was rated 87 points by the Wine Enthusiast.
Personal Review - This wine was pretty good, but I enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc that I tried before this better. On the nose, it smelled of fruit, but the taste was not as fruity as I had expected based on the smell. On the tongue, this wine opened with a creamier taste that turned slightly bitter in the after taste. I would definitely drink it again; however, I would not pay the full-price of $21 for it.
Food - I did not try this wine with food; however, it was stated that this wine would pair well with soicy Indian or Thai foods.
