Germany—the home of great Riesling and so much

more—has been making some of the world’s most prized

wines since Roman times. Riesling is now enjoying an

international resurgence in popularity because many wine

lovers have become weary of white wine that tastes like

canned fruit and crave wines with more zip to them. No

wine on the planet has more natural acidity than German

Riesling, and that is what makes them so wonderful to

drink. That, and their deliciousness!

Tonight we learn about Germany’s pradikat classification

system of ripeness: Kabinett, Spätlese and Auslese, and

we sample all three, looking for changes in sweetness and

body. We also explore the different types of astonishingly

good dry wines, made not only from Riesling, but

Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir. Riesling remains the

world’s most versatile (and long-lived) white wine,

wonderful to drink with ham, turkey, chicken and seafood.

You will rarely experience an evening more satisfying than

this class.
