Tonight's class will feature wines from Austria.
Small but beautiful - that is Austrian viticulture in an international comparison. Austria is a stunningly beautiful country and so are the wines. Austria is, with France, Italy, Spain, and Germany, considered one of the best wine-growing countries in Europe. Austrian wine does one thing better than a lot of other wines: expresses history, site, climate and vintage. In this exciting tasting, you’ll have the chance to experience some of Austria’s most distinctive wine regions as you sample five delicious wines made from grape varieties deeply rooted in Austria’s viticultural history.
This Tuesday we take a tasting tour through Austria’s most prestigious wine regions. We start in beautiful Wachau that sits on the banks of the Danube river and will have two different Grüner Veltliner from the same winemaker to experience the difference in taste as we move up the quality ladder. Then we travel to the southernmost Austrian wine region, the Steiermark. Here we are in a true alpine region where Sauvignon-Blanc grapes grow on extremely steep slopes giving us crispy, beautiful wines. From here we travel north-east to the Pannonian plans towards the border with Hungary, to the Burgenland wine region. We will learn about two distinctively Austrian red wine grape varieties: Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch.
The wines will be accompanied by 2 specially selected cheeses and fresh baguettes.
This is a $20 tasting.
No reservations are required.
