Description

When you hear “Riesling,” do you still think syrupy sweet? If so, you're not alone, but you're definitely missing out. 


In this episode, Amanda and Wine Access experts Eduardo Dingler and Laura Koffer set the record straight on one of the world’s most versatile yet vexing grapes. They unpack Riesling’s reputation in the US, share tips on how to decode sweetness levels, and reveal where (outside Germany) you should look for great Riesling. Oh, and for those who love everything from oysters and sushi to spicy noodles and summertime salads, they get into why Riesling might just be the GOAT when it comes to food pairings!
