the other 4 slots are constantly changing, i try to keep them full but we kind of love to indulge in a glass a few times a week. no matter what, i always turn to Charles Smith wines to keep these at least 1 of these slots full. we were introduced to his Kung Fu Girl Riesling when we dined at a Chicago Steakhouse. the sommelier was so helpful and we quickly fell in love with this wine.
since then, we've tried a few others by this vineyard. while i normally do not even touch merlot, i actually like the wine by Charles Smith. the bottles are so funky, and work great when you need to bring a bottle to a dinner at a friend's house or BYOB. i get mine at WF (whole foods, duh) in a pack of 6 so I get a discount since I know we will go through it or gift it!
p.s. website lists event: 19 Apr 2011 / Charles Smith World Tour / Chicago, IL / more info to come
every since you told me about kung fu girl, it's been my go to white wine. i bring it whenever i go to thai or sushi byob's. it's a great accompaniment to the spicy thai flavors or goes great with fresh fish. keep the recommendations coming!
