Description

What you'll learn in this wine class:

Don't underestimate the importance of Germany and Eastern Europe in the wine world. The wines of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire have much in common and just as many differences. Learn the regions, climate, grapes, complex labeling and many styles of wines from Germany, Austria, Hungary and more. We'll explore Spätburgunder, Riesling and more from the Mosel, Rheingau and other regions of Germany, Grüner Veltliner from Austria, Hungary's famous dessert wine, Tokaji, and more.
