Wine of the Day: 2006 Sheldrake Point Reserve Riesling

This estate-grown reserve dry Riesling emits a nuttiness amidst mild flavors of green tea, apples, citrus and herbal notes. Pop the cork and inhale soft, sweet floral aromas among sweet tropical fruits. Because Riesling is almost never fermented, its light flavor, acidity and sweetness goes well with a wide variety of foods. More specifically, Reisling pairs beautifully with white fish and pork; it also stands up well to the intense flavors and rich spices of Thai and Chinese cooking.

Tip: Cabbage is often cooked with Riesling to reduce the vegetables unfavorable smell.
