Event Review – The New Germany – Red, Dry, Sparkling

The German Wine Society finally returned to Old Europe restaurant for the The New Germany – Red, Dry, Sparkling event. It was an awesome event with great food and great wine to accompany it! Below is a small excerpt of the event:

Annette presented 3 red wines, 1 Sekt (sparkling wine) and 6 dry and 1 “halbtrocken” white wines from 10 out of the 13 wine regions in Germany.

The tasting also included 2 Grosse Lage/ Grand Cru GG wines. Germany is increasingly becoming known as a serious red wine producer; Germany is the #3 producer world-wide of Pinot-Noir (= Spätburguder). 

Germans have always been obsessed with sparkling wines: 1 out of 4 sparklers produced in the world is consumed in Germany; and Germany is home to the second largest sparkling wine producer world-wide.
