Light, fruity and very refreshing. A fruity alternative to a spritz.

Coincidentally, we helped pick my brother's Riesling grapes the day after Riesling's birthday. At the end of a long day amongst the vines, using grapes straight from the vine and a bottle from the previous year's vintage, we made cobblers for the assembled weary pickers. My oh my, didn't that perk up everyone's spirits.
