Wine Scents

Did You Say, "Riesling"...
run for your lives!
 

Riesling is one of the most under valued wines.  It is versatile and almost always a great value.  When somebody says, "riesling", people cringe.  Maybe they are thinking sweet wine or really sweet wine.  Riesling is versatile.  It can be made into bone dry wines, sweet wines and everything in between.  Even the well made sweet wines are balanced by great acidity.

Riesling is a grape that grows throughout the world but is famous in Germany and New York State.  Riesling can age for 20+ years and ice wine made from riesling can age for generations.

I love drinking a dry riesling in the Summer while I am cooking.  It is cool, crisp, light and refreshing.  It pairs wonderfully with Parmigiano-Reggiano and it is perfect for deglazing hot your saute pan of garlic and olive oil.

We have many different varieties of riesling in the store.  We even have an amazing riesling that is bone dry and it is in a 3 liter box.

If you like dry white wines you should risk it and if you like a sweeter white wine, you have a couple million rieslings to choose from.

My two favorites in the store:
1.  Dry Sparkling riesling
2. Dry Spatlese (Spatlese Trocken)
