The Untamed Fury of the Albino Rhino

Albino Rhino is a 2009 Ablarino.  This wine boasts of the lively, acidic, sweet, bright flavors of peach and apricot.  88% Albarino and 12% Riesling.  13.7% Alcohol.   Wine Woot never ceases to amaze me with their comedic and entertaining labels from their cellars in Monterey County. Even their corks have the infamous exclamation point and say "wine woot" on the side.  I love it. I was given this bottle as a gift.

The scent of this wine is close to that of a Pinot Grigio, fruitfully acidic smelling.  The first flavors to hit my palate were overwhelmingly those of a mix of apricot and peach, along with a little pear slid in there as well.   The dry flavors linger on your tongue, and as I sip it I wish I had some crisp green apples and caramel dip to enjoy with it, but for now I suppose I will settle for a little goat cheese and basalmic vinegar (which happens to go deliciously well).
