Understanding German Riesling – Masterclass with Sommelier Sean Price

In this masterclass we will focus our attention on one of the most misunderstood, and possibly underappreciated wines, the German Riesling.

While many wine drinkers may associate German Riesling with sweet, mass market bottles, they may be surprised to learn  that a significant portion of German Rieslings are actually dry (trocken) or off-dry, offering crisp acidity and elegant mineral notes. In addition, the German wine labeling system can be confusing for those unfamiliar with terms like Kabinett, Spätlese, and Auslese, which refer to ripeness levels rather than sweetness. As a result, many shy away from German Rieslings, missing out on the wine’s remarkable versatility and ability to pair beautifully with a wide range of cuisines.

Sean Price, our sommelier, loves his German Rieslings, and is looking forward to share this love with you. So, if you are looking to get a new appreciation for German Rieslings, this is the class for you. And with Summer right around the corner, there is no better time to add German Rieslings to your repertoire.
