Wine Recommendation—Tassel Ridge La Crescent

I recommend Tassel Ridge La Crescent because it offers some sweetness and is a refreshing, semi-sweet white wine with tropical fruit, peach, pear, and grapefruit on the nose and tropical fruit, peach, and citrus on the palate.— Bob Wersen, Owner, Tassel Ridge Winery
