My name is Lesley and I’m an experienced home cook with a passion for food, wine and baking, and who isn’t afraid to take chances on making up random recipes on the fly. I’m here to help inspire you and give you the confidence to try new things, or put some spark into your old favourites. Most episodes I'll have a guest where we talk about cooking, baking, wine, and anything else food-related that strikes our fancy. Sometimes I'll go solo and share something I've been cooking up and share my no-recipe-recipe with you. Thanks for tuning in and... Let's get cooking!

S4. E4. Riesling (part 1)

Please don't turn your nose up at Riesling! The wine I've chosen this month is a dry Riesling from Alsace (France.) Pierre Sparr Grande Réserve Riesling 2020, $18.95

If you can't find this exact wine, look for a Riesling from Alsace (France) that has 5-7g of sugar per Litre. This one has 6g/L. Many popular red wines are in the 4-7g/L range, in fact, the Ripasso we tasted last month had 12g/L!

This wine is pale yellow in colour and has nice viscosity. Aromas of peach, honey, honeysuckle. Mouth feel is medium bodied, citrus, minerals, med-high acidity, and dry yet juicy.

Let me know what you think! In a couple of weeks I'll be talking with my cousin, Alexander, who is a product consultant at the LCBO and who LOVES Riesling. After that, you and I will surely know more about Riesling than we ever did before.
