I've heard a lot about Colorado wines:
- Ew, they're unsophisticated!
- Ugh, they're just not on par with the major world wine regions!
- Waah, why don't they make 'em for $10 so I can drink more?
Truth is, there are plenty of overlook-ables in the bunch and there are others that make you go "hm!" Two Rivers is one such vineyard that manages to turn out decent, drinkable wines that don't just go with dessert or only please the sweet-loving-white-zinfandel-sipping crowd.
Case in point: Two Rivers Riesling.
Straw-yellow in color, this wine has a medium body that clings to the glass as I swirl it around. It smells like fresh pear, green apple and melon with a bit of citrus. The scents follow the taste buds as it flows across my tongue, going down just fast enough to warrant another taste. Smooth yet steely, warm but not buttery, and bright with acidity, this approachable wine is a great pairing for Asian food and similar lighter fare. Not to mention it goes good with just a glass.
If you're unfortunate enough to reside outside Colorado, Primo Vino would be happy to hook you up.
