Beautiful & Glorious Riesling (Wednesday, August 27th, 6:30-8:30pm), $45
Perhaps more than any other grape, Riesling might very well be the most misunderstood and the most underappreciated. Decades ago, a couple of companies that-shall-not-be-named pumped their wines full of sugar, thereby nearly destroying Riesling’s reputation, but their catastrophic artificiality was merely an attempt to imitate a centuries-old tradition.
We’ll be surveying Riesling from Austria, Alsace, and of course Germany, with the hopes of exploding your minds with how awesome Riesling can be, even when it has a bit of residual sugar. As a specialty bottle shop that’s come to specialize in German wines, we have access to some of the rarest Rieslings around, which will foreground this class. There’s good reason why 99.9% of wine geeks and pros declare their favorite varietal to be Riesling (that’s probably hyperbole, but only barely so), and our mission is to rail against the lamentable zeitgeist that plagues this legendary grape!
