Charles Smith has a reputation as one of Washington State’s most original winemakers thanks to his maverick approach and rock ‘n roll background. After moving to Europe to manage several rock bands, he realised his interest in wine while discovering Europe’s inspiring dining culture. Then in 1999 Charles had a chance encounter with a winemaker in Walla Walla in Washington State who persuaded him to make his own wine. Over the years Charles has picked up a slew of accolades, including being named “Winemaker of the Year” in 2014 by Wine Enthusiast and the winery was named “Winery of the Year” by Wine & Spirits magazine in 2008.
One night Charles was enjoying a Chinese takeaway and a Kung Fu movie when he was suddenly inspired to create the Kung Fu Girl Riesling as a perfect partner for Asian cuisine. This vibrant dry Riesling is an ideal match for spicy and aromatic dishes like Pad Thai or a fragrant Indian curry.
Crafted from 100% Riesling grown in Washington State, the Kung Fu Girl Riesling is aged in oak barrels for two months to add extra complexity and a soft, rich texture. On the nose there is a delicate perfume of apricots, honeysuckle, and white peaches, while the first sip brings freshness and elegance along with heady tropical fruit flavours and a clean, light finish.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
