Chef Joachim Splichal invites you to experience a very special evening that will take you on a journey back to his German roots. We are honored to welcome featured guests, Friderich Becker and Richard Grosche, renowned winemakers of Becker Family Wines and von Buhl.
The Becker estate, located in Schweigenon the border of Alsace, has been one of the top Pinot Noir producers in Germany for many years. The best Becker Pinot Noirs compare favorably with the best Burgundy has to offer.
Both the Becker and von Buhl estates are members of the Verband Deutscher Prädikats, a highly acclaimed German wine producer association whose members adhere to the highest standards. The von Buhl estate is also farmed organically.
