A few weeks ago i was lucky enough to go to Riga for a long weekend with coincided with 25 year of Latvian independence celebrations. What a beautiful and inexpensive place (by western standards). Had the opportunity to visit a few good restaurants and drink some excellent wines.

Towards the end of the holiday we lunched at cafe/restaurant next to the opera house. Great lunch where we got to try a dry yet very fruity white wine. Australian origin, made by blending Gewurztraminer and Riesling.

On a separate event, my good friend Steve came over for lunch. Steve is generally not too keen on wine however he is a lover of all things sweet. On a trip to Morrissons I found this same wine we have had in Riga, thought Steve might like it. He did, or at least that's what he said, he was driving and couldn't have much... A very inexpensive treat.
