Event Description:
Is there a Riesling in Your Kabinett?
A FUNdamentals of Wine Class!
Wine Myth:
"Oh yeah, Riesling...I don't do sweet wines."
Or the opposite...
"Oh, I ONLY like sweet wines...something that starts with an R...it's the only wine I will drink."
Myth Busted: Riesling is responsible for making some of the greatest wines in the world. Riesling is arguably the most versatile white wine for food pairing. Riesling offers many personalities...from the driest of dry to fantastically sweet.
All it takes to prove it is to put a delicious and representative glass in your hand! As luck would have it, we can do just that on Wednesday, September 26th. Actually, we'll offer you several tastes to show off the versatility as well as savory bites paired with each one.
Vocabulary word: Kabinett. In the German wine classification system, Kabinett is the lowest level of Prädikatswein, lower in ripeness than Spätlese. A German Kabinett is semi-sweet (lieblich) by default, but may be dry (trocken) or off-dry (halbtrocken).
This tasting is $25.00 and includes wine tastings, paired bites, and fun, light-hearted education. Space is limited and reservations are required!
