Description

Taste and learn about German wines with Laura Botten While Americans may associate Germany more with beer than wine, it is actually the fourth largest consumer of wine in the world (after the USA, France, and Italy) and the eight largest producer. This is perhaps unsurprising - the Germans first acquired a taste for wine during the Roman era, and imports of wine quickly turned to imports of vines, which took root literally and figuratively. While German wine may be most associated with Riesling, red wines make up a large portion of the vineyards, and wine in Germany comes in as diverse a mix as from other classic wine-producing countries. In this class, Laura Botten will lead you on an exploration of German wine. Expect enticing bubbles, luscious whites, pristine reds, and yes, some undeniably fine Riesling. Learn how the liminal growing environments of Germany help produce some of the world's most compelling wines, Be prepared to find your palate surprised at every turn by a truly exciting line-up of wines.
