Bottled Up!

Der Erklarungsversuchfeinheitenrieslings! Roughly: desperately trying to explain the intricacies of Riesling. For bonus episode number 11 we return to Riesling and provide a tasting profile for a stand up example of German Riesling, and we briefly dive into the important world of Wildcats-- the movie. Enjoy!

Wine: Alsheimer Rheinblick Riesling Spätlese

Backpfeifengesicht-- or in english "A face that needs to be slapped". 

Riesling. Either you love it or you hate it. Regardless of how you feel about it, though, Riesling is a grape and wine with incredible breadth. From sweet to dry, crisp to floral there is a Riesling for every palate and every occasion. Jenn and Seán narrow the topic down and touch on the history, growth, and tastes of Riesling. Grab a glass and listen along, and next time someone tries to group all Rieslings together with a "oh Riesling is gross!", know that they are nothing but a backpfeifengesicht.

Wine: Kung Fu Girl, Dry Riesling
