What is Beaujolais’ white counterpart? Enter Riesling. While Gamay and Riesling may not share any immediate lineage, they do have many qualities in common. Like Gamay, Riesling has a tendency for bright acidity and lowish alcohol, making it an adaptable partner to countless world cuisines.

Last night, I opened my wine fridge looking for some evening refreshment. I didn’t quite know what would be for dinner—likely take-out, as I felt too lazy to coerce the various odds and ends lingering in the refrigerator into something palatable—and I wanted a wine I could sip as an apéritif while my mystery meal materialized.
     Looks like it’s another Beaujolais night. Am I too predictable? Do I have a Beaujolais problem? I pondered these questions as I sunk my corkscrew into the wooden cylinder standing between me and my chilled Gamay. But then it hit me: I am predictable, and I do have a Beaujolais problem…But who wouldn’t? It happens to be the most versatile and easygoing red wine on the planet. It can be enjoyed without food, but also pairs flawlessly with nearly all cuisines on Earth. And of course, it is so irresistibly gulpable.
     It got me thinking, what is Gamay’s white counterpart? Enter Riesling. While the two may not share any immediate lineage, they do have many qualities in common. Like Gamay, Riesling has a tendency for bright acidity and lowish alcohol, making it an adaptable partner to countless world cuisines. It plays well with salt, acid, fat, and heat, while also having the refreshing balance and mesmerizing aromatics to shine on its own.
     So next time you’re thirsty, make it a Riesling night—or a Beaujolais night, if you prefer red. With the dexterity of a Swiss Army knife, these all-purpose wines have proven their utility and deliciousness in any circumstances, which is why it always pays to have some bottles at the ready. This discounted sampler of three Rieslings and three Beaujolais, each offering diverse aromas, flavors, and textures, but ultimately providing utter satisfaction, has you covered!
