About Me

Hi! I'm Christina, and I am a recent graduate from Virginia Tech! I'm in Northern VA now pursuing a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I'd like to continue what I learned from the Geography of Wine class I took in Spring of 2012, so I'll be posting about different wines and wine events. I would be very grateful for suggestions, and I'm open to expanding my posts to beer and liquor as well!

Tasting - Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling


Name: Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling

Variety: Riesling
Region: Pfalz
Country: Germany
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95
Shop Review: Flint and mineral notes accent pineapple and lime aromas, while on the palate, the wine shows plenty of ripe, citrusy fruit flavors.  Tangy acids on the long finish provide balance.
My Review: I’m not sure if my nose was beginning to get stuffed up, but this wine had an odd aroma that I am unable to place.  However, I could taste sweet pineapple, almost as if it were the juice left over from a jar of pineapples.

I had this wine alone without any food.
