Last Sunday we smashed twenty pints of Pumpkin beers, as well as a few pumpkins.

But tonight is different. It’s my birthday, and we can think of nothing better than free beer and a t-shirt (it’s called commitment). So we return to The Green Dragon.

Dry Riesling, Ravines, Finger Lakes, New York 2010

Posted on February 29, 2012 by waywardwine
