Summer White Wine Series: Riesling

White wine fun, facts, and damn good information!

Riesling grapes
Riesling is a white wine with floral aromas like your first love. The white grape variety originates in the Rhine region of Germany. Consumed young, Riesling wine is highly acidic, with flavors of peach, apple, and pear at the forefront, mixed with delicate floral undertones and often honey and spice on the nose. Riesling wines can be bone-dry, tart, to deliciously sweet. It pairs well with seafood and Oriental foods or as a dessert wine. So enjoy this saucy, young wine like two high schoolers at the drive-in.
