Rheingau:

These south-sloping vineyards on the banks of the Rhine River benefit from the sun’s warmth. As a result, Rhine wine is usually fuller and richer than Mosel wine. Most of the wine produced here contains only Riesling grapes, and tends to be either relatively dry, “trocken,” or quite sweet, “Eiswein.”


Riesling:

(REESE ling)—a grape that comes mostly from the Mosel and Rheingau regions of Germany (where it is a noble variety), the Finger Lakes region of New York, and Alsace region of France, and Austria. Although often thought of as “sweet,” many Rieslings are quite dry. The word trocken on German bottles indicates dryness. The trademarks of Riesling are high acidity, low to medium alcohol levels, and aromas and flavors that range from fruity and flowery to mineral. Also called Johannesburg Riesling or White Riesling.

Mosel-Saar-Ruwer:

(MOH zel zar ROO ver)—This dramatically beautiful region of western Germany produces exceptional white wines from the Riesling grape. Among the lightest in Germany, these wines usually contain less than 10% alcohol and they are generally delicate, fresh, and bursting with flavor. With its flowery tastes and aromas, Mosel Riesling is a great wine to drink in the spring. Look for the words “Erzeugerabfüllung” or Gutsabfüllung,” which indicate that the wine was estate bottled and not mass-produced.

Peach Jelly Roll

Rated

Ingredients

3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
6 tbsp peach jam
powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400F. Lightly grease a 12 x 8-inch jelly roll pan and line with baking parchment. Combine the eggs and sugar in a large, clean bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until thick and mousse-like (when the beaters are lifted a trail should remain on the surface of the mixture for approximately 15 seconds).

Carefully fold in the flour with a large metal spoon, then add 1 tbsp boiling water in the same way.

Spoon into the prepared pan, spread evenly to the edges and bake for 10- 12 minutes, until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.

Spread a sheet of waxed paper on a flat surface, sprinkle it with sugar, then invert the cake on top. Carefully peel off the lining paper.

Neatly trim the edges of the cake. Make a neat cut two-thirds of the way through the cake, about an inch from the short edge nearest you.

Spread the cake with the peach jam and roll up quickly from the partially cut end. Hold in position for a minute, making sure the seam is on the bottom. Cool completely on a wire rack. Decorate with glaze or simply dust with powdered sugar before serving.
