Our friends at Tria (123 S. 18th St. & 1137 Spruce St.) are celebrating all things German for the month of July with 31 Days of Riesling, a month-long ode to this ever versatile and never not delicious grape. For the rest of July they're going to be pouring a weekly rotation of styles representing all of the goodness that Riesling has to offer. Also, it's probably a great way to keep that post World Cup party going.
Here's the full line up for this week from bubbly to bone-dry:
Bubbly
Sparkling Riesling Sekt "Brut Zero," Weingut Knauss, '12 (Württemberg, Germany) $15 glass
A Sekt-y summer wine made in Champagne-method with dry, toasty apple notes
Off-Dry
Riesling Alte Reben "Wiltinger," St. Urbans-Hof, '12 (Mosel, Germany) $10½ glass
Seriously delicious old-vine, single-vineyard gem from world's steepest vineyards: so elegant!
Bone-Dry
Riesling Trocken "Two Faces," Stefan Breuer, '11 (Rheingau, Germany) $12 glass
Cool collaboration Riesling made in dry-style with refined, lush fruit and white pepper finish
