Description Take a so-so day (one where the first few wineries don’t seem to be cutting it); sprinkle in an unscheduled stop; add a friendly little dog named Bocci that greets you as you come up the drive and leads you to the tasting room; plus a winery that looks like it’s run out of the back of someone’s house, and you’ve got the makings of how we found this little gem. Featherstone’s Topaz (a Gerwurztraminer / Riesling combo) is a satisfying sipper with layers of smells on the nose and a clean crisp refreshing mouth feel. Start off with a citrus nose that also has floral notes and definite granny smith apple aromas. Two of these smells actually follow through on the palate as both the granny smith apple (all the taste without the mouth-puckering tartness) and a sweet citrus taste dance around on the tongue. Talk about a fun wine to drink with friends, family or even a friendly little dog – this is most definitely it!
