Wine with Leslie: The perfect wines for summer dining - including an €8 Riesling
Summer sipping season is nearly upon us
Our run of recent good weather has sent many of us out to the garden for our evening meals in recent weeks so this week I thought I would focus on two grapes that are perfect for summer dining.
Riesling and Pinot Noir are two of my go-to grapes at this time of year - I love their lightness of touch and their freshness. I’m not really talking Burgundy as prices have just gone too crazy, I’m thinking of European alternatives from German, Austria and Romania, and lighter new world Pinots from Chile, Australia and New Zealand.
