Forget everything you think you know about Riesling.

In this episode of Wine Pros on the Go, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood—and most beloved—grapes in the wine world. Often dismissed as simply “sweet,” Riesling is actually one of wine’s greatest shape-shifters, capable of producing wines that are bone dry, lusciously sweet, sparkling, age-worthy, wildly complex, and everything in between.

Join us as we travel from the steep slate-covered vineyards of Germany to the grand cru hillsides of Alsace, the cool-climate regions of Australia, and beyond. Along the way, we’ll uncover the fascinating history of this ancient variety, explore the climates and soils that shape its personality, and discover why sommeliers, collectors, and wine geeks can’t stop talking about it.

We’ll dive into Riesling’s signature aromas and flavors—from lime, green apple, white peach, jasmine, and honey to the famous petrol note that sparks endless debate. You’ll learn how to serve it, cellar it, pair it, and confidently choose a bottle no matter what style you prefer.

Whether you’re a lifelong Riesling fan or a skeptical first-timer, this episode might just change the way you think about white wine forever.
