Join GiraMondo Wine at the Embassy of Germany to taste some of the best wines this country has to offer! Look forward to an evening to remember enjoying wines, food, and the company of fellow wine lovers. We will taste some of the varietals Germany is known for including Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Silvaner, etc… We will also taste lesser known varietals such as Spatburgunder, Scheurebe and more! We will tour the German wine regions of Mosel, Pfalz, Rheingau, Nahe, and Rheinessen through 10+ wines.
Paired with these fantastic wines will be light appetizers representing both traditional German foods and a selection of Asian finger foods that marry particularly well with German wines.
