Perrin Cotes du Rhone Reserve 2011 (white)

I had read good things about the Perrin reserve wines so when I saw this at Binny's for $7.99 I had to try it.  We popped this one on a hot summer day to drink with Jaeger Schnitzle and were rewarded with a cool, crisp semi-dry wine that really hit the spot.  A wonderful summer sipper that drinks well by itself, but complemented the pork nicely as well.  Very enjoyable we will have this again.  A good wine for the price. Taste 4, value 4 .

Schlink Haus Riesling Nahe 2011

With my mom in town to help with the baby and Sunny being able to drink again, our consumption has increased, so get ready for some more reviews.  We picked up this bottle at Binny's for 7.99 on a whim and wow, what a treat.  Sweet, yet crisp and tart with hints of green apple this was like no other riesling I've tasted.  I didn't get to try it with food, but enjoyed a couple glasses after work and found it very refreshing.
Taste 5, value 5.  Enjoy.
