German Wines
Written by: Jessica Boettger
The summer season is in full swing—the sun is shining, the beaches are open, and the barbeque invites are arriving in droves.
You should be out there right now, making memories with friends and family over a great glass of wine and a delicious meal. If you only buy one bottle of wine this summer make it a bottle of German Reisling. Germany produces some of the best Riesling varietals in the world. This versatile white wine is made from Germany’s Reisling grapes, which receive VIP treatment in the wine world-—they are left to ripen longer than the average grape to ensure that the flavor reaches its full potential. In wine form Reisling carries just a hint of peach or apple flavor, depending upon its age. But no matter how long it is aged, a Reisling is always a refreshing choice that pairs well with almost any meal.
But a Reisling wine is not only an extremely versatile varietal-—it’s also unparalleled in quality. German Reisling constantly tops the extensive list of white wine varietals as the first choice of sommeliers (a restaurant’s wine steward) across the country. Yet even though it may be one of the preferred selections of sommeliers everywhere, its price is not necessarily out of reach for the average wine lover. And with its intricate blending of flavors and spices, available in an extensive range of sweet to dry wines, Reislinger is a shoe-in to please any palate. Incidentally, did you know that people who consume a glass of wine a day actually live longer than those who don’t drink at all? Wine has numerous health benefits that doctors are only just now realizing, such as raising HDL (good cholesterol) and lowering LDL (bad cholesterol), supplying our bodies with antioxidants (cancer fighters), and lowering the risk of developing dangerous blood clots. So go ahead, fill up that wine glass once or twice-—you’ll be drinking your way to better health!

They’ll tell you everything you need to know about the wine, what meals it goes best with, and how to find it.
