Advertisement You find the German wine shelves and your spirit deflates faster than you can pronounce trockenbeerenauslese or gutsabfullung, just two words on the labels that you find quite confusing.
While understanding German wine labels can be perplexing, Polka Dot is German wine that looks like a big easy button in a traditional Kabinett blue bottle. Produced in the Pfalz region and imported by wine giant Gallo, Polka Dot is a simple, casual wine that features the orchard fruit trademark flavors of riesling balanced with crisp acidity.
Sherry: “Light-bodied apricot and honey flavor, with slightly tart elements of citrus fruit.” (3 stars)
Chris: “Pear and peach flavors with a squirt of citrus finish.” (3 stars)
Available locally for about $8.50.
Coming next week: La Crema Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
