This was another $10-$15 impulse buy. I like both of these varietals (when they're good) but I've never had them in a blend that I can recall, so I figured I'd give it a try. It wasn't a terrible wine, but I was hard-pressed to find any of the riesling in this blend. When I actually checked the percentage of each varietal (guess I should have done that before buying it) I found that it's overwhelmingly chardonnay, which is exactly what it tastes like. It's too oaky and too sweet for my taste, so while we did manage to finish the bottle, I don't think we'll be buying it again.
