This variety is also known as a blending grape in the ever-popular red <a href=\"https:\/\/winefolly.com\/deep-dive\/what-grape-varieties-make-up-a-bordeaux-blend\/\">Bordeaux blends<\/a>. But because the Cabernet Franc grape has a thinner skin, this medium-bodied wine takes on a lighter color and slightly reduced tannin. Food-friendly and highly versatile, this fall favorite is best known for its savory, roasted bell-pepper flavors and hints of red plum, strawberry, and chili pepper. Cabernet Franc\u2019s higher acidity makes it possible to pair with a broad range of foods, including smoky barbecue, tomato-based dishes, and nearly any dish featuring fresh herbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noteworthy regions that produce some of the best Cabernet Franc include France\u2019s Loire Valley, Tuscany, Chile, Argentina, and California\u2019s Sierra Foothills. Tasting this wine from different areas of the world is the best way to learn all about its incredible range and flavor personalities.

But, if you\u2019re an adventure seeker, this one is worth exploring for a fall option. Often rejected for being too sweet, Riesling has resurfaced today as \u201cone of the most collectible white wines among top connoisseurs around the world,\u201d say the experts at <a href=\"https:\/\/winefolly.com\/deep-dive\/the-tasters-guide-to-riesling-wine\/\">Wine Folly<\/a>. This aromatic grape variety that originated in the Rhine region can produce dry wines as well as semi-sweet and sparkling white wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dynamic varietal, to be sure, Rieslings typically reveal aromas of orchard fruits\u2014apricot, pear, honey crisp apples, and nectarine. You can also detect scents of jasmine, honeycomb, and lime along with a curious hint of petroleum wax or petrol, a natural compound called <a href=\"https:\/\/winefolly.com\/tips\/impact-compound-aromas\/\">TDN<\/a>, which isn\u2019t as offensive as it sounds. Dryer Rieslings are on the rise these days for those who prefer something less sweet, and they hail from regions far and wide, including Alsace, Australia, Washington State, and New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of Riesling\u2019s sweetness and acidity, it pairs exceptionally well with spicy, sweet, or salty dishes. For a general rule of thumb, pair dryer, crisper styles with raw or delicate fish and sweeter, more substantial Rieslings with spicy Asian or Indian dishes, spiced duck leg, chicken, salmon, and tuna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-riesling-pairings\">Riesling Pairings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shrimp, crab, scallops, salmon, tuna, pork, bacon, chicken, duck, spicy Indian or Asian dishes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roasted vegetables, bell peppers, red onion, eggplant, squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, shallots, coconut, ginger, clove, cinnamon, allspice, turmeric, sesame, marjoram, curry, basil, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blue cheese, feta, aged Gouda, Raclette, Parmigiano Reggiano, Havarti, Jarlsberg, hard and soft cow\u2019s milk cheeses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-merlot\">Merlot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"565\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/MerlotCourtesySyrahQueen.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/MerlotCourtesySyrahQueen.jpeg 565w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/MerlotCourtesySyrahQueen-226x300.jpeg 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/syrahqueen.com\/merlot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Syrah Queen<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The victim of a bad reputation since the movie <em>Sideways<\/em>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.matchingfoodandwine.com\/news\/pairings\/which-foods-match-best-with-merlot\/\">Merlot&nbsp;<\/a>is rapidly reclaiming its status as a world-class wine.
