SUMMARY:GWS New Vintage Tasting with Phil Bernstein
DESCRIPTION:Dear German Wine Society Members and Friends\, 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 2023\, another in an increasing string of very good vintages. Mosel Fine Wines says the 2023s are wines of zest\, freshness\, and lightness. Vinous Media found many of the wines to be “simply thrilling” and was struck by “how much flavor and expression they cram into an often small footprint” (meaning lighter wines with lower alcohol levels). Here is your chance to try the 2023s from some of the very best producers – and\, with possible tariffs looming\, to try them at pre-tariff prices! DATE:  Friday\, May 16th\, 2025.  Doors open at 6:30 pm; tasting begins at 7:00 pm.   Registrations are due by Monday\, May 12\, 2025. VENUE:  King Farm Community Center\, 300 Saddle Ridge Circle\, Rockville\, MD 20850\, Please park in the lot behind the swimming pool adjacent to the community center\, and then come around to the front of the circle (not through the pool area) to enter the building. The Shady Grove Metro station on the Red Line is right across 355.  The Red Line King Farm shuttle bus runs from there on a route passing the Community Center until about 7:30 pm\, every 20 minutes\, though if returning by Metro you would need to arrange a ride to the station with another guest\, get a cab or walk (about 20 minutes to the station).THE WINES: Welcome Wine – NV Hild Elbling Sekt Brut Mosel  Two Trockens Vollenweider Felsenfest Riesling Trocken Mosel Schaefer Fröhlich Vulkangestein Riesling Trocken Nahe  A Pair of GGs Peter Lauer Riesling Fass 18 Kupp Grosses Gewächs Mosel Dönnhoff Felsenberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs Nahe  Kabinetts Duo Erbes Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett Mosel Falkenstein Öckfener Bockstein Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben #22 Mia Mosel  Willi Schaefer Kabinett Vineyards Comparison Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Riesling Kabinett Mosel Willi Schaefer Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett Mosel  Delicious Spätlese Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Hermannshohle Riesling Spätlese Nahe Willi Haag Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese Mosel  An Auslese Finale Schaefer Fröhlich Bockenauer Felseneck Auslese Nahe  A tasty buffet of cheeses\, bread\, crackers\, cold cuts\, grapes\, veggies and sweets will be provided to accompany the wines.
