Once upon a time, I thought I was the only sommelier in the world who didn’t like riesling, the main Alsace wine variety.

Riesling, one of the six “noble” grapes, is originally from Germany. It is an aromatic white grape, known for its floral, citrus and stonefruit qualities, with more mineral notes when grown in cool climates and more fruity and petrol-y notes when grown in warmer climates.

Yup, petrol.
