Rieslings

June 30, 2010 By Rhino Wino Leave a Comment

                A lot of people can be a bit put off by Rieslings because of their reputation for being very cheap and sweet. But while they can be very sweet, Riesling can also be made dry.  But the greatest thing about these grapes is that they are very open to flavors.  The transparency and low alcohol content make the wines very unique based on where they were grown.  Thanks to the soil, climate and other natural factors of the vineyard it is from a Riesling can range from amazingly fruity to more mineral noted.  Sales of Riesling wines have been steadily growing as more and more people note their versatility and lightness.  Since it has a low alcohol content, it goes great with spicier dishes. And the fact that it can be very sweet to very dry means you can find a match to any food you can think of. 
                A great way to spread the love of Riesling, which you are sure to catch, is to host a simple party with only Riesling wines.  It is a great way to sample a variety of these wide ranging vintages and to see how it works with some foods.  Try crab cakes and a simple array of cheeses and fruit on a cheese board.

    Yes, Riesling can come sweet and dry. I have counted 5 different German Spaetlese versions. http://www.schiller-wine.blogspot.com/2010/06/g…
