Riesling - one of the greatest white wines since the 15th century...!


Don't miss this rare opportunity to taste and compare some of the world's most famous, hand-crafted Rieslings. Pure and delightful aromas of apple, peach & grapefruit, and a crisp and mineral acidity are Riesling's hallmarks - all characteristics that support it's legendary ability at the table. No other wine is so extraordinarily flexible with Asian or Latin dishes - particularly with those exhibiting spicier flavors... It is also infinitely capable with smoked and saltier dishes, which makes it a superb partner to a holiday ham or a great companion to the perfect picnic... Riesling will also flatter salads with fruit and any main course with fruit infused sauces...
Riesling is, in one word, special! It's a wine of quiet and enlightened persuasion and pleasure. It is both refreshing quaff that can delight in warm weather like no other varietal, as well as a more sublime, intriguing potion that can demand sensory investigation and thought...

Riesling is one of the few white wines that benefit from aging, due to it's excellent acidity and fruit. It is also one of the lowest-alcohol wines available. Please come and see for yourself why authentic German Rieslings in particular are among the most stunning and flavorful Rieslings on earth...

And - in case you always wanted to know, what is all that fuzz about Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein - this Friday you will find all the answers, plus you will learn about deciphering German wine labels, and how to pair Riesling successfully with food...
