The lovely and ever popular Riesling is pleasing to the palettes of many, pairs with almost everything, and can be extremely affordable – all the qualities that make it a great choice for a wedding!
Riesling wines originated in Germany’s Rhein region but is now grown all over the world. The top wine regions are…

France – you cannot talk about wine without talking about France
- The spicy regions of Alsace
Austria
Washington
Oregon
New York
Riesling can be highly aromatic with apple, pear and peach at the forefront mixed with nice floral undertones. It can be bought in dry, semi dry and sweet varieties. Just as a note, German Rieslings are by both their style (level of dryness) and the grapes ripeness at the time of harvesting (Kabinett, Spatlese, Auslese, etc).

Happy planning!
