If you’re a Pinot or Riesling fan, this is an event that you don’t wanna miss. There are several importers whose wines we universally drool over, and the Wasserman family is at the top of our list. Technically speaking, they’re an exporter, as their headquarters is in Burgundy; of the dozen or so employees in the company, one lives abroad…right here in Portland! While Becky Wasserman single-handedly changed the landscape of Burgundian wines available in the USA over the past several decades, her family has been exploring producers (currently a mere 5!) in Germany and Italy in recent years, and have begun to bring yet-undiscovered producers to North America.
Join Timothy Davey—the most eloquent educator we know, probably because he was formed by Wasserman culture—as he and his colleague John Soares take us through Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), Riesling, and more.
