Friday, May 22
Old and New World Rieslings.
6-9pm

As part of National Riesling Week, we’re hosting two tastings to showcase the broad spectrum of this widely misunderstood varietal, from bone-dry to semi-sweet and all the way to a rare, super-sweet Beerenauslese. We’ll include Rieslings from its birthplace on the treacherously steep slopes of the Mosel (pictured above), to neighboring regions in Germany, Alsace and Austria as well as one from our neighbors in upstate NY.
