From the 20 Minute Supper Club. Many people know Riesling as a fruity, sweet wine. When you explore the grape a little further, you'll find they range from beautifully dry and crisp to sublime and syrupy. Our Riesling takes off in the usual model for Niagara: off-dry, judicious acidity, and refreshing fruitiness.
This recipe for Shanghai noodles will tickle the taste buds. Although the noodles are thicker - suggesting a fleshier wine - the majority of the flavours gel with Riesling, especially bok choy. Toss in green onions, ginger, and pork with soy sauce and you're really cooking. Our Riesling, with green-ish qualities of lime, grapefruit, and mineral will help this dish shine.
