Charles Smith Kung Fu Girl Riesling 2008

Served With: Szechuan Green Beans and Eggplant over Rice

Five Things: pale straw, gooseberry, melon, crisp, mineral

COO: Columbia Valley, Washington

Notes: I have to admit, as much as I like Charles Smith's wines, the names are a hoot too. I don't know if it was intentional, but my first reaction upon seeing this in the store was to start humming the 1976 Blondie song "Kung Fu Girls"... As far as the wine, it didn't quite overcome the spicy Asian food, so we'll try to find something a little less intense for the next round.
