Recipes for October
The Estate's Rieslings have been harvested and are now being fermented to make the 2025 vintage. That makes us think of the Germanic tradition of "Fedderweisser" - celebrating the fall harvest with partially fermented, low-alcohol Rieslings. And of the food pairings that complement our FOUR different Rieslings: Black Locust, Dry, Semi-Dry, and Sweet.
Here's some pairings for a "Riesling-Only" supper.
And remember that Riesling has a special fondness for the sweetness found in corn;
featured in a couple of these recipes.
Black Locust Dry Riesling: Monk's Parmesan Crisps
Dry Riesling: Spanish Blue Potato Frittata
FlammeKuchen (German Onion Pizza - pictured above)
Semi-Dry Riesling: Corn Bisque with Smoked Shrimp or Bacon
Corn Fritters with Arugula
Sweet Riesling: Lemon Cheesecake Tart
