Put aside any lingering thoughts that Riesling is always sweet. This high quality, noble grape can produce some of the most versatile styles of wines ? from sparkling wine, to bone dry still wines, to off-dry, to lusciously sweet Icewine. The strong backbone of acidity this grape is known for allow it to show well at every sweetness level.
Not only can Riesling show well in different styles, it also shows well from different countries. You?ll tour through some of the world?s most famous and some relatively undiscovered Riesling territory with your guide, Sommelier and Firefly Sales Advisor Sheila Whittaker.
You?ll receive 10 per cent off your wine purchases that evening and receive a 10 per cent coupon for Benton Brothers, too. We look forward to showing off the spectrum of styles that can be produced from the same grape. It?ll give you a Riesling to Live and you?ll take home a Riesling to love.
