Directions
Tasting notes: The acidity of the Riesling and the creaminess of the risotto seesaw each other and make your mouth water. The fresh summer corn mimics the bright aromas and flavors in the Riesling.
Serena's tips: If you have the time to make the corn stock, it's definitely worth it. The whipped cream really does add richness without heft.
