So you’ve picked up a few bottles of Rieslings from the festival this weekend — now what kind of cheese do you serve with them? Rieslings are an easy-to-pair wine, as they run the gamut from dry to sweet, making it simple to complement or oppose.

According to Cheryl Pitti, wine coordinator for the Canandaigua Wegmans, the general rule is to pair a like cheese with a like Riesling; for example, a high-acidity Riesling goes with a high-acidity cheese.
