With its new Riesling Riders Festival, Nouvelle Bar and Bottle (214 S. Clay St.) looks forward to celebrating the grape varietal, Riesling. On June 23, Nouvelle will introduce an extensive list of Rieslings, offer live music and a special culinary collab.
From 1 p.m. – 8 p.m., guests will be treated to a whirlwind trip around the world with the Riesling grape. Nouvelle hopes to dispel common misconceptions about the often oversimplified grape. The festival will highlight “its rich flavors and diverse profiles.”
