Summertime Wine Love Affair

The time of fruits, seafood and grills has arrived; sunny days and blue skies are in store for the delight of many summertime addicts who are already looking desperate for thirst quenching wines to pair with their favorite grilled food and snacks.

Refreshing and mineral wines, with high acidity and romantic aromas, flexibility with natural food nuances and floral nose is what better describes what people are looking for and the answer is Riesling

According to Dr Vino, Rieslings echo the apple, pear and peach along with citrus and tropical nuances on the palate. Rieslings tend to pick up a noticeable “minerality” from their native soils, explaining why and the hints of slate or limestone can be exhibited.

Food Pairings: When it comes to pairing Riesling with food, versatility is the name of the game. Rieslings may well be the most accommodating wine around for pairing with challenging flavors and spice profiles. From appetizers to desserts, pork, poultry or shellfish, and virtually anything in between the diversity of Riesling styles make them capable of handling just about anything you toss at them including the spice and zest of favored Asian, Mexican or even Moroccan foods.
