đŸ„‚ Episode 6: Riesling – The Food lover

Hey wine lovers! In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood — and most exciting — white wine grapes out there: Riesling. From bone-dry and zesty to lusciously sweet and age-worthy, Riesling is a grape with serious range and a whole lot of personality.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

- Where Riesling shines around the world — from Germany to Australia to upstate New York  
- Why Riesling’s high acidity makes it an all-star pairing for everything from sushi to spicy Thai  
- What makes the aroma of petrol (yep, really!) a prized note in aged Rieslings  
- How to decode sweetness levels and regional styles on Riesling labels  
- Why Riesling's elegant balance makes it one of the most food-friendly wines out there  

If you’ve written Riesling off as just sweet or simple, this episode might just change your mind. Give it a listen, and if you’re enjoying the show, don’t forget to follow or subscribe so you never miss an episode. And hey — keep exploring, one glass at a time. Cheers! đŸ·
