SUMMARY:GWS New Vintage Tasting with Phil Bernstein
DESCRIPTION:Every year we host a tasting to try German wines from the new vintage\, with a focus on Riesling. Our host is Phil Bernstein\, General Manager of MacArthur Beverages\, one of the leading retailers of German Riesling in the country. Every year\, Phil brings some of the best wines of the vintage. The new vintage is 2024\, another in an increasing string of very good vintages\, though regrettably the first to be carrying the increase in wine tariffs.  Mosel Fine Wines says that “2024 is a must-go-to vintage for lovers of classic and ethereal Mosel lightness and elegance!” Vinous Media found that the German wines of 2024 are “sprightly\, sleek\, concentrated Rieslings with exquisite verve and full aromatic development.” Here is your chance to try the 2024s from some of the very best producers! DATE:  Friday\, March 27th\, 2026.  Doors open at 6:30 pm; tasting begins at 7:00 pm.   Registrations are due by Monday\, March 23\, 2026.
