For those of you who think that red wine is the quintessential complement to cheese, think again. In reality, white wines reign, and there is no better counterpart across the (cheese) board than beloved Riesling. Don't believe us? See for yourself as Jonathan Schwartz, Portfolio Manager for the Terry Theise Estate Selections at Michael Skurnik Wines, and Elizabeth Chubbuck, Murray's Wholesale Manager, as they prove the versatility of German wine. With its slight acidity and residual sugar, Rieslings pair perfectly with various cheeses - from grassy, farmhouse cheddars to the salty tang of blues. We'll have you wondering why you ever bothered with reds to being with.
