If you switch off as soon as anybody mentions German wines, you're showing your age. The same applies if you don't buy anything labelled riesling because you think it's not your kind of grape variety. Perhaps you really don't like it - but if so, that's unusual. When wine drinkers are given Riesling blind, it always comes out well - often well above Sauvignon and Chardonnay. But tell people it's Riesling they're drinking - or worse - German wine - and baggage intervenes. Or it does if you're over 35, because then you're old enough to remember nasty 1980s Liebfraumilch and other cheap, sweet, bland bottles....but Lieb et al aren't what real German wine is about. In fact the likes of Liebfraumilch aren't even made from Riesling....German Riesling is a great Summer drink - intensely fruity and tinglingly refreshing.

'(Austrian) Grüner Veltliner is the alter ego of Riesling, producing a variety of styles from the light and zesty right through to rich, exotic whites with exceptional balance.....Its individuality is a welcome breath of fresh Alpine air'

'The next big things is Riesling. Its revival is now complete. Dry Riesling is knocking people's palates sideways across the world. There is not other white grape which can be drunk as an aperitif, with Asian-fusion food, seafood, chicken and fish that ages as well or as gracefully as Riesling.'
