    LOL once, Reisling was the king of grapes in white wines Chardonay,is just an upstart and Suvignon blanc just a New Zealand bulk white, dumped here in Australia.

    For me the Gavi wine it’s the best white wine right now. Also the Austrian wine, like a Grüner is good too. It’s super light. I’ve been drinking Sauvignon Blanc for a decay and I get tired of it😃it’s always good to try something new.

    Marc! Been loving this series, thumbs-up👍🍷Riesling is such a versatile grape in terms of food pairings! I also think the alcohol percentage is a good indicator for sweetness in the German ones. Keep 'em coming my friend!!

    That map of Alsace is wrong. It only covers the Eastern 10% of the coloured part!!! The rest is Lorraine and one or two other areas. Anyway, pleased you're promoting the great Riesling grape!!!

    Very informative video. Only one thing: "Trockenbeerenausleese" is not the same thing as "late harvest"! Late harvest means "Spätlese" in German. A "Trockenbeerenauslese" is something entirely different. Greetings from Germany

    • @wine-living
      @wine-living  3 роки тому

      Hello Gero, thanks for making the distinction; I should have been more specific in saying TBAs are dried-berry, botrytis infected grapes. They are often harvested late, but not the same as a Late-Harvest wine.

    I love sweet wine but I'm having the opposite problem, all the Rieslings I come across are dry, in multiple stores they could have 4 or 5 of them but all dry! It upsets me no end.

    • @wine-living
      @wine-living  4 роки тому +1

      Have you tried Dr. Loosen Eroica yet? From Washington state and it's sweet. Also, the Finger Lakes makes some great sweet Rieslings, in particular check out Fox Run Winery.

      They're next to impossible to find where I live. In the state of PA we have a State-run liquor system that has a very limited selection based on the top sellers in the country. Chances of getting one, let alone two or more wines from Canada are almost nil. And the few times I've been to Canada all I can find is cider. If you have a supplier or a store that would ship to PA let me know!
