Flip Flop Riesling was a flop in our book. It started out very sweet but burned like
cheap alcohol. We didn’t reach any of
the flavors described by the wine’s label.
As fun as this label maybe, we think we will leave this one at the store
rather than take it to the beach. Which is unfortunate because with each Flip Flop wine bottle purchased someone in need is receiving a pair of flip flops through the Soles4Sols international shoe charity.
