Staff Pick Notes

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was drinking, not even my spouse. There were potatoes galore and hot roasted pork, all that was missing was the pop of a cork. The Christmas tree twinkled, the fire glowed red, while visions of Riesling danced in my head. A Kabinett from the Mosel, what could be more divine? Lucky for us, I had just the wine. An all-natural nectar, from the master himself, a wine that would please even a finicky elf.

Though it's now cultivated worldwide, Riesling is nearly synonymous with German wine, and that country's winemakers have lately begun to produce some very exciting dry versions. They are careful to retain the delightful honeyed, flinty flavors that the best sweet Rieslings have always displayed. Alsace, of...
