Don’t mistake this complex grape for a sickly sweet, second-class pour, says Steven Grubbs at Empire State South. Three of his faves:
2013 Trisaetum, Dry Riesling
The best of the New World, says Grubbs. Salty minerality and a floral spice. Available at Green’s, $19.99
2007 J.J. Prüm, Riesling Auslese Graacher Himmelreich
Quince and ginger from an icon in the Mosel. Available at the Wine Shop at Cakes & Ale, $56
2014 Max Ferd., Richter Estate Riesling
Hello, fresh-cut apple and tangerine. Available at Le Caveau Fine Wines, $17.99
