Join USQ for Riesling in Winter as we offer nearly three dozen expressions of this noble variety! Arguably the best grape variety in expressing terroir, we are crazy for the stuff and want you to be as well! Stop by for exquisite pours from where it grows best: Germany, Austria, and Alsace. Are we forgetting someplace? Oh yes, NEW YORK STATE!

By now, most wine enthusiasts recognize the amazing potential of Riesling in New York's Finger Lakes region. On hand to share their offerings will be Ravines Wine Cellars winemaker Morten Hallgren and Red Newt Cellars winemaker Brandon Seager. Taste and talk with these gents to get the skinny on the state of Riesling in the Finger Lakes and find a new fave in the process! Also featured from Finger Lakes will be bottlings from Dr. Konstantin Frank.

Featured European estates include: Austria's Alzinger, Hirsch, and Bründlmayer; Germany's A.J. Adam, Reuscher-Haart, Josef Leitz, Günther Steinmetz, Clemens-Busch, and Weiser Kunstler; Alsace's Domaine Albert Mann, Domaine Bott-Geyl, and Willm.

Admission to this tasting is free, and no reservations are required!
