Grapes to Glass: Reserve Riesling Master Class
Join us for our most exclusive Reserve Riesling Master Class. Riesling is synonymous with German wine—and for a good reason. This class will examine the wide range of styles of this sometimes misunderstood white wine. From sparkling to dry to off-dry and lusciously sweet varieties, Riesling can do it all! The workshop features unique sampling of some very special aged Rieslings, light snacks, and time for questions for instructor Amy Waller, an official German wine ambassador.
Doors open at 5:45 p.m., class begins at 6:15 p.m.
This special class is limited to 32 participants due to the special and rare nature of the wines we’ll be sampling.
$110 non-members / $100 members
You may know Amy from the Wine Workshops that she’s hosted at the GAI Haus or from her wine samplings at Deutsche Tage and Oktoberfest. She considers herself our resident German wine sommelier, spreading the German wine love and letting everyone know that it’s not all BIER! Amy’s a seasoned hospitality & wine professional in the Twin Cities having worked more than 25 years in hospitality in a number of local institutions including France 44 Wine and Spirits, Lucia’s Wine Bar, Khâluna and the James Beard award winning restaurant, The Bachelor Farmer. She fell in love with German wine years ago during her time at The Bachelor Farmer and has spent many years honing her knowledge of the country. She’s been a Wines of Germany ambassador since 2018 hosting educational seminars and tastings for German wine fans across the country and is now solely focused on German wine imports, in her role with The German Wine Collection. She visits Germany regularly to keep up with her producers. It’s rare to see her without a bottle of Riesling in tow.
