Happy almost Halloween, everyone! We are ending our tasting program year strongly with two great programs to carry us into the holiday season. First up is a return visit from an outstanding speaker, Daniel Hubbard, National Portfolio Manager for MS Walker National Sales. Since he last presented to us in 2016, 2 new estates have been added to the portfolio, which we will sample in addition to the ones poured last time. The estates and wines we will taste are:
The Melsheimer family boasts 5 generations of growing Riesling on the steep slopes of the Mosel. In 2013, the estate earned the Demeter certification as a fully biodynamic winery.
