A Golden Revelation
It’s truly a revelation when wine forms a seamless and expansive bond with the food that it accompanies. This is the premise of why food and wine pairing is such a proselytized aspect of culture and fine dining. I’ve seen the scenario play out for restaurant guests numerous times in the course of my career, and Riesling has often been the vehicle of delivery.
I used to run wine service at a pan-Asian restaurant which had a beautiful array of indigenous dishes and a wine list of Grand Award caliber to boot. The crown jewels of the wine program were the deep verticals we had of classic German Riesling, and numerous bottles aged to peak maturity. Customers would come in and say, “Wow! That’s a lot of sweet wine! Do people typically drink that with their meal?” All I needed was one statement like this and I’d be off to the races.
Do you know what happens when spicy Szechuan peppercorns and fatty duck collide with the sweet fruit of a Mosel masterpiece? Or when Thai chilies are quenched and redefined by lush, late-harvest juice? Smiles. Wide eyes. Numerous additional bites and sips.
It’s a tragedy that such experiences are unknown to so many. Sweet wine is our hedonistic ally and not a secret we have to keep in the dark. Once you’ve seen the wizardry it can perform with food, you’ll come to appreciate the joy it inspires completely on its own. I personally drink bottles of Markus Molitor gold capsule wines in both scenarios and trust me…..I have no regrets.
Below you’ll find all the available Molitor wines in the Gold Capsule category at Vinopolis. If you’re a sweet Riesling veteran, then this is your playground. If you’re a newbie, here’s your opportunity to start your journey with the very best.
