Ranging in styles from crisp and dry, smooth and sweet, and everything in between, Riesling is an exceptionally versatile wine varietal—making it a solid choice for both stand-alone sipping and pairing with foods. Consistently one of my wine go-tos, especially during warm summer months, Riesling has roots in Germany but is actually the fastest growing white wine in the US. Who knew!?

To celebrate this noble grape, the International Riesling Foundation has introduced “The 31 Days of German Riesling.” For the entire month of July, hundreds of restaurants and retailers across the country will promote German Riesling by offering food and wine pairings, by-the-glass specials, flights, in-store tastings and discounted bottles.

New Yorkers can drink up at restaurants like Ai Fiori, Craft, Eleven Madison Park, Gramercy Tavern, Per Se, Riverpark and Terroir, while locals in Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC and more can join in the fun as well. Check out the full list of participating establishments here.

So raise a glass to Riesling this month and join me as I proudly shout, “Prost!” (delivered in my best attempt at a German accent, of course)
