2023 Trefethen Dry Riesling
EatingWellwriter and level one sommelierKarla Walshhighly recommends the2023 Trefethen Dry Riesling—she’s keeping her kitchen stocked with multiple bottles of this classic white.
“I recently snagged this bottle during a Costco shop, and highly recommend stocking up on a case for host gifts, popping open at holiday parties and pairing with your Thanksgiving feast,” Walsh says. “Dry, bright and crisp with notes of apple and lime, this Napa riesling plays nicely with a wide variety of foods and is light and lovely to enjoy on its own.”
Not only is this $25.99 wine a standout for its beautifully sweet taste, but this sommelier loves it for its low alcohol content. Walsh says, “It clocks in at just 12% ABV, which means it is far less likely than, say, that high-alcohol zinfandel, to leave you with a pounding headache the next day.”
