Seattle wine scene.

wine nerds giving off-the-cuff, on-camera reviews of whatever wine (and food) cross their path.
Chardonnay Reviews:
Aromas full of tropical pineapple which is great on these cold nights. Crisp green fruit up front followed by a hint of honey and a clean finish. Medium bodied and a great balance between sugars and acidity.

Riesling Reviews:
The wine showed a light golden color. Pear, limestone and whiffs of vanilla were all prominent on the nose. Pear, kiwi and butterscotch followed on the palate with average structure and length. The wine showed a nice balance between acidity and residual sugar with light minerality. This balanced, aromatic white wine would pair well with all kinds of Asian food, including sushi and Pad Thai.
