New Vintage Tasting with Phil Bernstein
February 17, 2012 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Every year we host a tasting to provide members and guests with an early opportunity to taste wines from the new vintage. The 2010 wines are just arriving, and now is a great time to sample what is available so you can decide what to buy based on the most important information– what tastes good to you!
The tasting will be Friday, February 17, at 7 p.m. The price is $35 for members and $42 for non-members.
2010 was an extremely unusual vintage in Germany, with some of the lowest yields in the past 100 years. In his recent report, David Schildknecht writes that some of the 2010 wines are frightful and many others are mind-bendingly complex. In the words of Terry Theise, what’s good in 2010 is absurdly good, and what’s not good is a mess. His candidate motto for the 2010 vintage is: WTF!!
We are fortunate that DC boasts one of the best German wine retailers in the country, Phil Bernstein of MacArthur Beverages, who will pick some of the good stuff for us. Phil will present some value wines, some wonderful wines, and some new wines.
