Show of hands: How many times have you opted for a recipe that
calls for wine so you can happily pour yourself a glass while you cook? Not
only does “cooking with wine” give you an excuse to drink it on the spot, it
also offers a rich layer of flavor to the food. Wine adds acidity, which
instantly brightens and extracts flavors in the dish.

A fantastic recipe that features one of our favorite wine varietals is Coq au Riesling,
like this
one from Food & Wine. Deeply savory and enriched with cream and spices,
this recipe calls for a good quality dry Riesling. The minerality, crisp
acidity and vibrant fruit notes of Schmitt's dry Riesling make it a great one to incorporate
into this classic recipe.
Remember: Always cook with a wine you would drink yourself. So,
make this dish, and pour yourself a glass!
