Here’s to the existence of continuing adventures and undiscovered pleasures in the wine world, as presented in this gorgeous glass of crisp dessert. It’s a blend of Edelweiss and Brianna, and it really works at its eight percent sugar level, with racy acidity carrying flavors of spiced peach, pineapple and sweet lemon off into the distance. For dessert, just present an elegant glass of this with no accompaniment. Very satisfying. A Platinum Award winner at the 2018 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
