As I promised last week, Wine Blogging Wednesday (WBW) #4 was announced over the weekend. It's being hosted by Derrick over at An Obsession With Food, a personal favorite that I check regularly for updates.
This vintage of WBW will focus on New World Riesling, another recent favorite. And I hope that many of you will participate in this always-fun event, which is slated for December 1st.
So get shopping...there are great Rieslings from New Zealand, Australia, the Pacific Northwest and, yes, here in New York. I think I have to represent Long Island wine and find a couple to review for WBW...now I just need to pick which ones.
I wish I could get my hands on the wine that won best NY wine...a Riesling from Rivendell...but it sold out!
Anyway...head over to Derrick's site and leave a comment if you're going to participate!
Hm. I didn't know Long Island was growing Riesling; I thought the industry was centered around the Finger Lakes. I'll be curious to hear what you find!

There are DEFINITELY some rieslings out here of note...though many (okay, probably most) of the best ones I've had are Finger Lakes-centric...
The Rivendell, the one that won best in NY was actually made ON Long Island...with Finger Lakes grapes...for a Hudson Valley winery...interesting eh? It's truly best in NY I guess...it touches the whole state!
Maybe I'll do a NY comparison..hmmmm
