Wines of the world, how many bottles does it take to make a round-trip? This white Riesling made in the US gives you the globe in a glass. Sure, the best Rieslings come from Germany’s Rhine and Mosel regions. But a coup began in 1951 with a Ukrainian migrant’s arrival in New York. As others scoffed, this viticulturist, Dr Konstantin Frank, using Canadian rootstock, planted these German grapes along NY State’s Keuka Lake. Almost 60 years later, Dr Frank’s Vinifera Vineyards 2008 Dry Riesling has won laurels from Steven Kolpan, professor and chair of Wine Studies at Culinary Institute of America, New York. Cost: $15 a bottle.
