S4.E5 - Riesling with Alexander


Listen Later

In this episode I chat with my cousin, Alexander, who is a product consultant at the LCBO in Toronto. He LOVES Riesling, so he was the perfect person to have on to talk about all things Riesling. In the previous episode, I gave you my thoughts on the Pierre Sparr Riesling from Alsace that was this month's Wine Club selection. While Alexander and I talk about Riesling as it's made in Canada, France (Alsace) and Germany, we are tasting the 2017 Riesling from Stanners Vineyard in Prince Edward County. I bought this at my local farmers' market a few weeks ago, and since I'd just baked a Peach Pie yesterday, I figured this was a good time to open this bottle and share it with Alexander.


Here are the wines we talked about in this episode:

  • Wegeler Riesling Trocken 2020, Rheingau, Germany, $21.95, 12g/L of sugar
  • Hidden Bench Estate Riesling 2019, Niagara, Ontario, $24.95, 21g/L of sugar
  • Stanners Vineyard Riesling 2017, Prince Edward County, ON (I don't see this wine on their web site - I think it was $29)
