Riesling Renaissance

You may have noted my earlier short posting on Pacific Rim wines. I was curious about their little booklet entitled Riesling Rules, chuckling at the double meaning of it's title, so I ordered a free copy to see what was inside. Imagine my surprise when I opened its cover and discovered answers to everything I had always wondered about Riesling - in simple to follow and entertainingly cute English! The booklet discusses topics such its history, its natural history, its geo-political survival skills, it's famous advocates, its food versatility, and many other little known facts about his little green grape. Voltaire reminds us that "The true triumph of Reason Riesling is that it enables us to get along with others who do not possess it"

I am more impressed with this little big wine than ever before ..... no more the red wine snob!
