Riesling is a tragically maligned grape in American cultural consciousness, given that several decades ago, a few companies decided to artificially sweeten their wines so as to appeal to the American palate’s love for sugary things. And while there is a long tradition of crafting off-dry to sweet wines from Riesling, there’s infinitely more to the grape than the schlock that nearly destroyed its reputation.

This class will explore 6 Rieslings from several regions across Germany, from the famous Mosel to more southerly territories. We’ll be nerding out about the grape’s history, Germany’s wildly frustrating appellation system, and tasting through a swathe of Rieslings from acclaimed producers.
