Vintage Cellar Review: 
This wine is the perfect balance of honeysuckle and bright peach
flavors. A perfect compliment to light fare, appetizers, or just
sharing with friends.

My review:
Again, definitely a fruity smell. My notes on this wine weren't as extensive as the Gotham City wine. I think I could've delved into this riesling a little more, but the unexpected behavior of the first wine was still distracting me. Overall, Beringer was a solid riesling that performed as expected. The honeysuckle notes came out first and strong, but even on the second sip, I still couldn't taste the peach. In comparison to the Gotham City wine, this had less acidity but was more alcoholic. "I feel like a dragon!" I told my friend - but it may have just been the wine.
