Fogolar Wines – 2021 Riesling Grimsby Hillside Vineyard
The New York Rangers are an Original 6 team that enters the 2024 season as a group that is looking to make a deep playoff run. Madison Square Garden is greatest sports arena in North America and within its walls has produced some of the most special moments in sports.
Original 6 teams deserve original grape varietals that reflect the history, culture, and traditions of wine and hockey. For Riesling, the Niagara Region is the most important wine growing area in Canada. The tradition of Riesling reaches back to the Mosel river Germany and in the French/German border region of Alsace.
Watching the New York Rangers in Madison Square Garden deserves a grape varietal that can perform on the grandest of stages. The 2021 Fogolar Grimsby Hillside Vineyard achieves this by capturing the fresh and crisp representation of the Niagara region and will be your gateway to trying Rieslings from other notable regions in Germany and Alsace.

Wine Description
The 2024 Metropolitan division is paired with several wines from Fogolar. Riesling is the theme for the New York Islanders, New York Rangers, and New Jersey Devils. All three teams have been paired with a Fogolar single vineyard Riesling. By enjoying 3 wines of the same grape and same region, but different vineyards, you will be able to start to develop an appreciation for how terroir (a term used in wine for all the environmental factors impacts the end result in the bottle) and the way the wine is made by the wine maker can influence the colour, taste, and aromas of the wine.
