Germany Part 1: Riesling
Academy - Wine Academy
with Tim Farrell
Wednesday 10/7 6:30pm
Riesling is without question one of the greatest grape varieties for white wine. It has the ability to be produced in an incredible variety of styles, from bone dry to dessert-sweet, and everything in between, even sparkling! It also showcases terroir and winemaking influence in a very transparent way. In the world of wine, no country is more closely associated with a grape variety than Germany is with Riesling. Germany has a long history of producing some of the greatest wines in the world. And yet it remains incredibly misunderstood and underappreciated amongst many wine drinkers. CoolVines wine director Tim Farrell will introduce you to the rich history of German Riesling, and pour a very wide array of wines to convince that Riesling is exactly what you should be drinking right now.
