Riesling is a white grape variety which originated in the Rhine region of Germany. It is the most grown variety in Germany, totaling over 21% of the country's grape acreage. The grape can be used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling white wines. Therefore, we figured what better way to celebrate Riesling than hosting a wine tasting featuring a selection of our favorite German and Austrian Rieslings that exhibit the grape's versatility.

Crab, lobster and other sweet shellfish, as well as fatty poultry, sweet and salty meats and marinades would match great with the subtle flavors of the grape.
