I caught this never-before-seen wine at TJ’s today for $7.99 and thought that I should give it a try. I’m cooking a spicy Indian-style dinner tonight and was shopping for Rieslings or Gewurtztraminers to stand up to it, but I thought “Muller Thurgau” sounded decently German and might be able to hold its own.
In color it is nearly clear, and the first taste is lightly sweet and is followed quickly by a shot of tangy. It lingers with pepper, and indeed compares favorably with Riesling. That’s my limit of pretentious description so if you want more you’ll have to try it yourself.
On my admittedly granular scale, I rate this wine a “buy it again”.
