Winery: Galen Glen
Grapes: Riesling
Appellation: Lehigh Valley
Cost: $18 (2022 vintage)

Wine Description: Just off-dry; more floral and fruity than a typical German Riesling, featuring potent stone and pome fruit, yet still lovely acidity on the finish.

Why It’s a Benchmark PA Wine: This wine has absolutely dominated at the PA Sommelier Judgement, arguably the most prestigious wine competition in the commonwealth. And while we here at PAVC think GrĂ¼ner Veltliner is Galen Glen’s best grape, their mastery of Riesling is not far behind.
