Portfolio Tasting with Domaine Select and Daniel Hubbard

Please join us Saturday, April 9, at 7 p.m., for our upcoming tasting with Daniel C. Hubbard of Domaine Select Wine Estates (DSWE). He has planned a power-point presentation to share with us his extensive knowledge of German wine.  As DSWE’s Central European portfolio manager and Mid-Atlantic sales manager, Daniel is well established with the German wine scene, as our board member Christian Schiller can attest.  They met at the 1st International Riesling Symposium last year at Schloss Reinhartshausen in the Rheingau.

The tasting will be at the Harbour Square Club Room.  As you will recall, this venue provides us a stunning view of the Washington skyline. The price for this tasting is $35 for members and $42 for non-members.

In 2010, DSWE was named Food & Wine magazine’s Importer of the Year.  The German wine portfolio of DSWE is exquisite and diverse, containing, at one end, the Pfalz wines of Weingut Christmann, whose owner, Steffen Christmann, is the current VDP President, the organization of Germany’s elite winemakers, and at the other end, the wines of Dirk Wuertz, a young and upcoming German winemaker who sells his Rieslings as bag-in box wines at Whole Foods and New York’s trendy wine bar “The Ten Bells.”  It’s one heck of a selection! The wines have been selected.  They are four flights of three wines each, each flight representing a particular vintner.  The wines are:
