Opt for a ripe, medium-sweet Riesling (look for Auslese, Spätlese or “late harvest” on the label) to stand up to the bold, juicy flavors of strawberry and lime in this frozen drink. “Brooks Sweet P Riesling is the sweetest of the non-dessert Rieslings from Brooks, with rich flavors of candied citrus, honey and orange marmalade,” says Pecotte.
