Riesling is the great grape of Germany and most of Germany's best wines are made from it. The secret to a truly spectacular Riesling lies in the balancing act between sugar and acidity. When most of the sugar is converted to alcohol (higher alcohol wines like 12-14%) the Riesling expression is often dry or sharp, while those with less alcohol (8%) offer the perception of sweetness. When the balance between the residual sugar and acidity is perfectly counterpoised, the wines have the inevitability of great art.

Join us this weekend Friday or Saturday starting at 12pm to taste the spectrum of expressions from dry to sweet.
