This medium sweet wine from Germany is a crisp wine with fruity notes. The wine, in a playful blue bottle with a pink and white label, is clean, bright, and quite sweet. The best part? Polka Dot Riesling is available for less than $10 a bottle. Don’t let the screwtop fool you, this does not taste like an “economy” wine.
Serve this wine chilled, in a small wine glass if possible (the smaller the glass, the slower the wine will warm to room temperature). Riesling, in general, pairs well with chicken, light fish, pork or ham, though drier varieties go well with spicy Asian and Mexican dishes. This Riesling, which is quite sweet, could also be served with a dessert, particularly fruit.
Rieslings also pair well with turkey and Thanksgiving festivities. Try serving it with the pumpkin pie!
