Lighten Üp

Ask any sommelier worth his corkscrew what's the most under-appreciated wine, and he'll undoubtedly say Riesling. Often mistaken as invariably sweet and a neophyte's favorite, Riesling's on the rebound with vinophiles who like a crisp white that's a power house in the pairing department. It seems wine is like fashion—in time, everything comes back in style.
