<p>This time in the grape miniseries -- a refresh on one of my all time favorite grapes -- Riesling. This versatile grape has a long history of quality, and is highly misunderstood by most people.</p> <p><img src="//assets.libsyn.com/show/45638/Riesling.png" alt="" width="646" height="237" /></p> <p>I review the long and noble history of the grape, starting in 1435 and talk about how it wound up in places like the US and Australia, where it makes world class examples. I cover Riesling in the vineyard, in the cellar, and what makes a wine sweet or dry. I even explain a bit about the International Riesling Foundation scale! </p> <p> </p> <p>I hope this overview gives you a new apprecaition for this grape that can be dry, sparkling, off-dry, sweet, and everything in between. </p> <p> </p> <p>Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Join the community today!</a></p> <p><a href="http...
