Staff Pick Notes

Here's a new thing you can argue about over your Thanksgiving holiday: Riesling. Few grapes can produce wines of such high overall quality yet elicit such harsh reactions as Riesling. The syrupy plonk that once invaded our supermarket shelves from Germany and elsewhere, known as the woeful "liebfraumilch," has happily been overtaken by serious Rieslings at all levels of sweetness.

In the holiday spirit, prove your loved ones wrong and win the argument for Riesling.
