At Postino Wine Bar in Phoenix, Arizona, Risqué had the pleasure of enjoying two fabulous and inexpensive wines while catching up with favorite LUSHES…an adorable thruple. Postino Wine Bar showcases approximately 26 wines for fairly inexpensive price while the menu boasts a tasty selection of very wine friendly bruschetta such as Brie and Apples with Fig Spread and the Prosciutto with Figs and Mascarpone…delish!

Chateau Bonnet 2006 Sauvignon Blanc, Entre-Deux-Mers, Bordeaux, France

The liquid sparkled with a very light straw hue. The blend of 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Semillion and 10% Muscadelle grapes bursts with indicative scents of sweet honeysuckle and stone fruit ending the nosegay with a touch of lime zest. Swirling in the mouth are flavors of steely peach and juicy tangerine and lime. The light to medium body wine completes with a lovely clean dry mineral finish.

Alcohol 12% ($15)

 

A to Z 2006 Riesling, Oregon

This very lightly tinted yellow colored Riesling with a hint of green blooms with floral scents of summer honeysuckle, orange blossom, sweet strawberries and Meyer lemon as a weighty slate minerality complements the lofty florals. The medium bodied liquid slips over the tongue with a plush appearance of sweetness (yet dry), with sweet black fig and tangy lemon meringue and more sweet floral straight through to the lingering mineral finish. As a “…just a little gay!” side note… Besides being loved by Risqué, this is one of fab comedian Ellen DeGeneres’ favorite wineries…

Alcohol 13% ($13)

For some of Risqué’s friends the Postman has obviously rang thrice, however for Risqué this evening, the Postman rang… only twice with these two splendiferous wines.
