A Saturday Afternoon with Germany and Austria
Not just Riesling. Six wines from cool climates and steep ground.
Say German wine and most people say Riesling. It is a fair answer and an incomplete one.
Germany and Austria between them grow some of the most precise, food-loving, quietly thrilling wine in Europe, and a good deal of it has nothing to do with Riesling at all. On Saturday, November 14, we pour six of them, and we tell you exactly why each one earned its place.
$69 per guest for the class and the wine, or $89 with an individual cheese plate. Seats are limited and registration is required.
Cool climate, steep ground.
Beyond Riesling
Grüner Veltliner and its peppery snap, plus Weissburgunder and Silvaner, which behave nothing like the whites most tables reach for.
Two to remember
Spätburgunder, which is Pinot Noir speaking German and doing it beautifully, and Blaufränkisch, which tastes like it was grown for the dinner table because it was.
Clarity, poured
High acid, low weight, and a clarity that makes every other wine on your list taste a little louder afterward. These are the bottles that change what somebody orders for the next year.
