Summer of Riesling Spotlight
We've selflessly volunteered to be your official guide to the wonderful world of the Summer of Riesling. We'll be taking you on tour of the city's finest Riesling repositories, keeping you abreast of the best pours of the summer.
Today we're heading over to a.kitchen (135 S. 18th St.), a spot with an already stellar wine list. Wine director Timothey Kweeder considers this stuff to be the greatest wine out there, so it's going to be a wild ride through the Rhine over at a.kitchen this summer all summer long. Selections are rotating on a weekly basis and these are the that Kweeder is currently offering.
Riesling Kabinett, Spreitzer, 2008 - This Rheingau white is all about white peaches and floral notes with a hint of salinity.
Riesling, ‘Meddersheimer Rheingrafenberg,’ Hexamer, 2010 - Aggressive acidity rounded out with quince, and bite of ginger.
Riesling, ‘Les Éléments,’ Bott-Geyl, Alsace, 2009 - Despite it's golden hue, this Alsatian sipper is full of clean minerality.
And since we're on the subject, we thought we'd share a few of Summer of Riesling founder Paul Grieco's recommended activities including reading the Kraftwork biography, writing a 500 word essay on the topic: "Why drinking Riesling makes me a better person," and making sure to use plenty more umläuts in to your wrïtïing.
