While at a Detroit restaurant earlier this week, I had the opportunity to order a wine with lunch. Since it was lunchtime I asked for a sweet wine as opposed to a dry, red wine. The waiter responded with a glass of Piesporter. It turned out to be the perfect wine for lunch and perhaps a great for an afternoon of sipping by the pool. Piesporter wines are named after the German village of Piesport, located in Germany’s Mosel region, where these wines are produced.

This particular Piesporter wine had a delicate pale yellow color. This off dry white wine offered hints of apple and pear both in the aroma and taste.

Cheers, Kathy
