Wines of Germany Tasting

Riesling for the Ages
an exploration of regional German Riesling both dry and off-dry, featuring wines with some bottle age and unique, individual qualities.

Join Master Sommelier and Jackson Rohrbaugh of Crunchy Red Fruit for a dive into three incredible German Rieslings. We'll be tasting three fantastic examples from the Nahe, Rheingau, and Baden regions, demonstrating the diversity and expression of the Riesling grape in its homeland.

Our class is one hour long, and we will be tasting these three wines together, discussing what makes German Riesling unique and ageworthy in the process. During the class we'll be sharing pictures, maps, and slides to enhance your understanding of German wine, and the Riesling grape in particular. 

Jackson Rohrbaugh is the founder of Crunchy Red Fruit in Seattle, Washington, a wine club and retailer that is committed to making wine accessible and fun for people of all backgrounds. Crunchy Red Fruit will be supplying the wine for this class. We ask that orders be submitted by Thursday, July 22nd in order to arrive in time before the class.
