Name: Bee You Riesling
Variety: Riesling
Region: Monterey County
Country: USA
Year: 2022
Price: $8.99
Winery review: "Refreshing and smooth. Bee You has flavors of juicy peach and wild honey with a perfect touch of sweetness." (bottle)
Wine Folly: Rieslings cover a wide range from very dry to very sweet. They include flavors like lime, beeswax, green apple, and jasmine. They tend to have high acidity, a light body, and no tannins (https://winefolly.com/grapes/riesling/)
My review: I picked up this Riesling as a backup to the chardonnay for our wine dinner. The fun label and promise of peach and honey drew me in. It's a pale straw color and the honey is the strongest smell. The honey takes a back seat for the initial taste, with apple, mild citrus, and peach taking center stage. As the flavors fade, the sweet honey lingers. It's crisp, refreshing, and well-balanced. This is my first riesling, so I don't have much to compare it to, but I find it to be a happy medium between the creaminess of a chardonnay and the earthiness of a sauvignon blanc. I ended up pairing this with a creamy caesar salad by chance and it bought out the herbs in the dressing. I'd definitely like to try more Rieslings!
