SUMMARY:The New Germany from an American perspective: Red\, Dry\, Sparkling
DESCRIPTION:Registration for this event has closed.After a long absence\, the GWS will return to Old Europe Restaurant in Georgetown. Annette Schiller\, President of ombiasy WineTours and long-standing member of the GWS\, will conduct a tasting entitled: “The New Germany – Red\, Dry\, Sparkling.” Annette will present 3 red wines\, 1 Sekt (sparkling wine) and 5 dry and 1 “halbtrocken” white wines from 9 out of the 13 wine regions in Germany. The tasting also includes 2 Grosses Gewächs (Grand Cru) 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. In terms of white wine Germany is known for its Rieslings. Yes\, it is the #1 Riesling producer world-wide\, but also the #1 Pinot-Blanc (Weissburgunder) and #2 Pinot-Gris (Grauburgunder) producer. All presented winemakers\, Annette knows personally. She has visited all of them on one of the wine tours to Germany (Germany-East\, Germany-South and Germany-Nord). Annette will share memories from these visits. In terms of food\, we are trying a new concept to better cater to people who arrive hungry straight from the office. Cindy O. Herold\, the Chef and Owner of Old Europe Restaurant\, will spoil us with a sumptuous Wine Tasting Buffet\, composed of a variety of typical German dishes: * German bread basket presented with “Kräuterbutter”-garlic herb butter and “Schmalz”\, * assorted cheese platter with house made “Obazda”-Bavarian style beer cheese\, * fresh fruits and crackers\, * “Bunte Schnittchen”-assorted cold cut canapes presented with deviled eggs\, * “Fleischpflanzl”-Bavarian style bite size meatballs garnished with cornichons\, * “Kartoffelpuffer”-potato pancakes served with apple sauce and sour cream\, * Germany’s most loved sausages: Bratwurst\, Bauernwurst\, Weißwurst\, Knockwurst and    Debreziner Wurst presented with sauerkraut\, apple red cabbage\, mustard trio and Berlin style curry ketchup\, * petite chicken Schnitzel “Wiener Art”-Vienna style served with warm German potato salad\, * “Apfelstrudel mit Vanillesoße”-apple strudel served with vanilla sauce. There will be coffee serviced with the dessert course. In addition\, Old Europe will set up a cash bar for guests that might like a drink before or after the tasting event. Also\, guests are more than welcome to order from the à la carte menu before or after the event. Old Europe is located in Georgetown at 2434 Wisconsin Ave NW\, Washington DC. There is ample parking in the side street behind the Old Europe.
