Our team of wine stewards just returned from a mind-blowing weekend at Chateau St. Michelle in Washington, where everyone tasted more than a hundred Rieslings from all over the world. It was 3 days of tasting and learning, all dedicated to celebrating the amazing versatility and attributes of this noble white wine.
“It was a Riesling immersion, and we were loving it!” says Hank Beal, Director of Adult Beverages for Nugget Markets. “Many wines were tasted blind with a panel of experts who walked us through the wines, breaking down the unique characteristics and arriving at a conclusion of where the wine was from, Old World or New World area. They were almost always dead on.”
