It was hard cramming in all the information I wanted in today’s column on riesling. I neglected to mention, for example, that one reason rieslings might be gaining in popularity is that they almost always are unoaked, adding to their purity of flavor and beckoning the ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) Brigade.

I also forgot to include a couple of dandy rieslings that I had sampled: Mirassou from California, McWilliams from Australia and a couple of German offerings, the sweet Leitz Dragonstone and the drier Jacoby-Mathy “Balance.”

But enough about me. I’m much more interested in what others (that means YOU) have experienced in the riesling world: interesting flavors, odd pairings that worked, funky-looking bottles, whatever. Thoughts?
