SUMMARY:German Dry Rieslings!
DESCRIPTION:Riesling in general and dry Riesling in particular is not really trendy in the U.S. Yet Eric Asimov\, the New York Times´ wine critic\, recently detected a “rising popularity of Riesling.” which\, to him\, signaled “the increasing sophistication of Americans who have fallen in love with wine.”Our April tasting will put our love for German wines to the stellar test of dry Riesling. Gunther Hellmann has offered to do a tasting of exclusively dry Riesling. He is a wine aficionado\, visiting Washington DC for a few months and has participated in two of our recent tastings. He will share his take at and love for German wine\, in particular dry Riesling\, with us.Gunther Hellmann was so kind  as to bring a selection of wines from his cellar inGermany for this tasting\, which we will complement with additions from local stores. The selection consists of  dry Rieslings from the Mosel\, the up and coming Pfalz and Rheinhessen regions and the Nahe Valley. The tasting will include “Grosses Gewaechs/Grand Cru” wines from world-class Riesling producers Weingut Klaus Peter Keller in Rheinhessen and Weingut Hermann Doennhoff in the Nahe Valley. Overall\, we will get a very good overview of what German winemakers are able to produce when it comes to other than sweet-style wines.The tasting will be on Friday\, April 19\, at 7 p.m. The price is $35 for members and $42 for non-members.The wines we will be serving (listed here in alphabetical order) are:2009 Bassermann-Jordan\, Auf der Mauer\, Pfalz2011 Dönnhoff\, Riesling trocken\, Nahe2010 Dönnhoff\, Hermannshöhle\, Grosses Gewächs\, Nahe2011 Fogt\, Spätlese trocken\, Siefersheimer Goldenes Horn\, Rheinhessen2011 Franzen\, Riesling trocken\, “Der Sommer war sehr groß”\, Mosel2007 Heymann-Löwenstein\, Schieferterrassen\, Mosel2006 Keller\, Hubacker\, Großes Gewächs\, Rheinhessen2008 Koehler-Ruprecht\, Saumagen\, Kabinett trocken\, Pfalz2009 Seehof\, Westhofener Steingrube\, Rheinhessen2011 Wagner-Stempel\, Siefersheimer Riesling trocken\, Vom Porphyr\, Rheinhessen
