Mission Codename Breaking Away
Very highly recommended, today’s 2011 Clif Family Winery Riesling is a crisp, dry and refreshingly delicious treat.
We had assumptions about this wine, before we ever opened the bottle. By reputation, we knew that we would really enjoy the wine - but we were not prepared to be very impressed by it. Our entire tasting panel fell instantly in love with this wine, declaring it to be the best Riesling we have ever featured.
This wine is dry, not syrupy or cloying, with an acidity that is in perfect balance with the delicious fruits. This is a very food friendly, all-seasons wine that can be served with a variety of cuisines.
We recommend pairing with Salad Nicoise, a Greek salad, aged cheeses, or a butternut squash pasta. Medeteranian falafel and hummus plate would also be an excellent companion.
