Frisk Prickly 2011 (about $11)


About the Wine: Frizzimo is a designation for wines that are slightly carbonated but not truly sparkling in the way that Champagne, Prosecco, and other, similar styles are.  Frisk Prickly is a blend of Riesling and Moscato.  The aim seems to have been to bring Moscato's frizzimo qualities to a Riesling.
About THIS Wine:  Frisk is white and visibly bubbly in the glass.  Citrus is prominent on the nose with hints of grapefruit.  The palate is pleasant but not especially complex with mild lemon, tangerine, and grapefruit.  The finish is slightly tart.
Drinking This Wine:  This is a very easy drinking wine.  It would be fine as a sipping wine and is one of the few wines I have had that would go well with potato chips and other snack food.
Overall Impression:  Tasty and easy to drink, this wine is good for the price.
