It uses food as a means to explore all of that, to dig into lesser-known corners of the region, complicate stereotypes, document new dynamics, and give voice to the unsung folk who grow, cook, and serve our daily meals.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSend us a text German Riesling demystifies the often confusing terminologies found on labels by breaking down quality classifications based on ripeness levels at harvest and their relationship to final sweetness. We unpack the intricate world of German wine labels to help you navigate these complex yet incredibly rewarding wines. • German quality wine is ranked based on grape sugar levels at harvest, not final sweetness • Kabinett (11.5% potential alcohol) features citrus, green apple, and high acidity • Spätlese (13% potential alcohol) shows more ripeness with red apple and apricot notes • Auslese (14% potential alcohol) often includes some botrytis influence with marmalade character • Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese represent noble rot-affected and dried botrytis grapes • Eiswein (ice wine) offers concentrated sweetness without botrytis, yielding just 50 liters per ton • Alcohol level on the label indicates residual sugar – lower alcohol means more sweetness • VDP eagle symbol on bottles indicates membership in an elite producer group • Vineyard designations like "Grosses Gewächs" represent single-vineyard, high-quality wines • Wines with residual sugar provide perfect balance to high natural acidity • German Rieslings can age beautifully, developing complexity while maintaining freshness Next week: Is Nebbiolo the next Sangiovese? We explore whether this Italian variety is becoming Australia's next big alternative grape variety. Follow us on instagram @winewithmegandmel…

Send us a text Chinese wine is making waves in the global market with premium producers like Silver Heights showcasing the potential of regions like Ningxia through biodynamic viticulture and French winemaking techniques. We taste and evaluate two high-end offerings that challenge our expectations and reveal the rapid evolution of China's wine industry. • China ranks as the 12th largest wine producer in the world • Chinese wine industry began serious development in the late 1970s when the country opened to foreign investment • Ningxia province is gaining recognition for quality Cabernet Sauvignon production • Silver Heights winery produces biodynamically and organically grown wines using both Western philosophies and Chinese principles • The premium Chardonnay ($89) shows beautiful minerality, green papaya notes and well-integrated oak • The Cabernet Sauvignon ($115) displays intriguing local character with notes of shiso leaf, shiitake and tea • Chinese wine evolution mirrors Australia's development in the 1980s with young vines still finding their identity • Drastic continental climate in Ningxia requires vintners to mound snow over vines during winter • Chinese wines are increasingly available in Australian specialty wine shops like Cardwell Cellars Follow us on instagram @winewithmegandmel…
