Let’s talk about one of the most misunderstood grapes in wine…

🍇 Riesling

Most people assume it’s always sweet.
It’s not.

Riesling is actually one of the most versatile grapes in the world, ranging from bone dry to beautifully sweet depending on where it’s grown and how it’s made.

What makes it special:
• High acidity = crisp, refreshing, never flat
• Flavor range = citrus, green apple, peach, even a little petrol (sounds bad but trust me, it isn’t) is as it ages
• Pairs with everything from seafood to spicy food (one of the best food wines out there)

Regions to know:
Germany (the classic)
Alsace (more rounded, usually drier/less sweet)
Finger Lakes (more fruit driven but still has bright acidity)

If you’ve written off Riesling before… it might be time to revisit it.

There’s a style for everyone—maybe you just haven’t met the right one yet

RING IN THE NEW YEAR WITH OUTSTANDING
OUT-OF-THE-ORDINARY SPARKLERS

If your New Years Resolution is to try new things in 2026, (or even if it isn’t) you should check out these fantastic but out of the ordinary sparklers.

First, for a fabulous Champagne Method Bubbly for under $20 from Penedes, Spain, Castellroig Sabate I Coca, Reserva, Brut really delivers! This wine bears the designation “Corpinnat” which means that it was produced by one of a relatively small group of quality conscious producers who maintain higher standards than most Cava producers, including a requirement that the grapes be 100% organic. And this dedication to quality really shows in the glass! This truly lovely high-quality sparkler is available at Bin 66 in Rehoboth for $19.

For that special occasion why not surprise your guest or host with an amazing sparkler from Argentina….yes, Argentina. Like many of the Sposato Family wines, the Sposato Family Methode Champenoise Sparkling Wine punches well above its weight. I first tried this wine when visiting the Sposato Winery in Mendoza and was blown away by its quality and elegance. This is a sparkling wine that at $58 at the Grog Shope in Lewes, compares favorably to much more costly wines from Champagne. This wine is a true gem!
