There is a lot going on in the wine world around the Riesling grape.  If you like Riesling wines, you know what I mean.  If you are not familiar with the grape, Riesling is a fruity and aromatic wine which may have aromas of green or other apples, grapefruit, peach, honey, rose blossom or cut green grass, and usually a crisp taste due to the high acidity.  You can get Riesling wines from dry to sweet, and even sparkling.  We are pretty proud of our Riesling at Wyandotte where we make it in a less sweet version that brings out the great character of the wine.

If you are intersted in learning more I just found a website that is kind of fun.  The Riesling Rules website has a book that you can order about Riesling, but also has lots of fun information.  Articles on serving Riesling, movies to see with Riesling, how to sound like a Riesling geek, etc.  Check it out sometime.

Oh, and my favorite Riesling geek saying?

“The TA on this baby is so high you can’t even feel the RS.”
