Tasting--Chateau Morrisette Our Dog Blue



Name: Chateau Morrisette Our Dog Blue

Variety: Riesling-Traminette blend with Vidal Blanc

Region: ?

Country:  United States? Not much information on website or bottle.  I would suspect that some traditional Reisling grapes are used in the production of the wine, so it may have a at least partially German origin. 

Year:  Unknown, not on bottle

Price:  Gift, $10.99 retail

From winemaker's website:  This popular white wine is a semi-sweet Riesling-Traminette blend, using Vidal Blanc for added depth. Aromas of melons, citrus fruits, apricots, and delicate flowers highlight the soft finish of this soothing wine. Serve chilled with fruits and cheeses, fish, or spicy foods.

My tasting notes:  Our neighbor gave us this bottle of wine. We tasted it chilled.  I did not have any food with it. Very faint nose of citrus. The predominant taste was grapefruit (my wife tasted it first, and I agreed with her assessment of the taste).  Rather unremarkable finish and kind of unremarkable overall. We don't recommend it.
