A Little Info About Riesling

Pronunciation: (REEZ-leeng)

Domestic Rieslings have been gaining in abundance and popularity as winemakers in cooler climate states are adopting the cool-weather grape. Germany, however, holds the prestige of being the world's largest and most famous Riesling producer.

Sweet and acidic, Riesling is a versatile wine that appeals to many consumers (including first-time wine drinkers). As you survey the many Rieslings to choose from you'll notice that wineries produce 'sweet' and 'dry' Rieslings. It doesn't stop there; Rieslings around the world exhibit very unique flavors and aromas. Try a variety of Rieslings from a variety of regions and producers and you'll get the picture - Riesling cannot be typecast.
