Happy Easter Wine!

Knowing if I don't bring wines to my Dad's he will try to give me some horrid jug wine I was pleasantly surprised yesterday! I guess I've got him hooked on Riesling after a recent visit to an Asian place. We had a Relax Riesling with some scallops in puff pastry au gratin that was quite decent! I like the funky blue bottle and always think of Franky goes to Hollywood when I drink this wine. It has lots of apple, honey, and a nice round mouth feel but it isn't overly complex just fun.

We also tried a St. Amour Beaujolias Cru from Dubouef that I actually liked. This style of wine is like the one night stand of wine. Once is definitely enough, because of all the ridicule you may be ashamed to admit you liked it, and some people think it is cheap and sleazy even if it is French. It went really good with our Ham, helped take the edge off my dis functional holiday and had lots of raspberry, walnut, and strawberry jam on the palate. Overall I would probably buy this again for a BBQ or something because it's just fruity fresh and good with a little chill.
