The North American misconception about German wines is that it is always sweet Rieslings. Well, in this stand-up tasting, we will dispel all that with an evening of all dry German wines.

The whites will include a Chardonnay, a white Pinot Noir, Rivaner, Sauvignon Blanc and Scheurebe. And for some lighter reds for the summer, we’ll sample a sparkling Dornfelder and the little known red grape called Acolon. Thus, you’ll learn that Germany is beyond merely just a Riesling producing country… An intriguing evening will be had by the inquisitive and adventurous.
