About WiNEZ

WiNEZ was a monthly event at EZ Street Saloon in South Range, WI. Unfortunately, due to lower turn out the owners had decided to stop hosting the event. The last wine night at EZ was held on November 12, 2014. But that is not to say the die hards won't be getting together for some wine tasting periodically at EZ Street Saloon. I will continue to blog the wines we have tasted pre starting this blog, along with our impromptu meetings, and maybe transform the blog into something more personal. We will see where it goes. I do know the blog will still be about wine!

So for my WiNEZ pals you can count on this blog to serve as an archive of what was consumed and a reference for your spending sprees. For those who are just curious about what the Northwest Wisconsinites are drinking here are some thoughts… but be warned I am by no means a wine expert-I only know what I like. Since I am not an expert I will try to include the winemakers label descriptions as well.

Salute! or as the Finnish would say Kippis!

Little Black Dress 2010 Riesling

Every girl needs a Little Black Dress to make their wardrobe complete, which means we also need a Little Black Dress wine to complete our wine stock.  And as an added bonus, by choosing Little Black Dress wines you are also supporting two charities that should resonate with every woman:  Dress for Success and Clothes Off Our Back Foundation.

The Little Black Dress 2010 Riesling is a clean crisp and medium-sweet wine that pairs well with just about anything from cheeses to fruits to spicy asian cuisine. The flavors and aromas include peaches, pineapple and apple being the most apparent with a hint of citrus and a honey finish. The fruit acid balances this wine beautifully and finishes smooth.
