Summer of Riesling...with Ravines Wine Cellar's Lisa Hallgren
September 14 2020 | 8:00 PMRavines Wine Cellars in the Finger Lakes of New York
has only been in existence since 2001. But in that short period of time,
Lisa & Morten Hallgren have been crafting laser-focused Rieslings,
with exuberant acidity...aka, they only make dry expressions
of this almighty grape. And by dry, I mean so dry that
the Bonneville Salt Flats look like a gustatory rain forest in comparison.
They own vineyards on both Seneca AND Keuka Lakes and
bring a terroir focus in allowing each vineyard to express itself.
While there is greatness in the many expressions of Riesling wine,
Ravines has fixated upon the many expression
of the Riesling grape in the vineyard...and it is awesome.
Wine Suggestion: well, we are stoked and honored
that Lisa has crafted a special 4-pack of Ravines Rieslings for the tasting,
that can be ordered HERE. Your Riesling 4-pack includes:
