Riesling Summit - more details!

Thu, 17 May 2012

As the Riesling Summit draws ever closer, we thought it was high time we revealed some more details!

We're delighted to announce that top German winemaker (not to mention one of the wine trade's most entertaining characters), Ernie Loosen will be attending the Riesling Summit to present our Riesling & Terroir masterclass! Places are fast running out, so sign up quickly if you want to hear from the man himself!

We also have German Riesling enthusiast David Motion from the Winery in Maida Vale, who has kindly offered to pass on his top tips for enthusing customers about German Riesling to the rest of the trade.

Our International Riesling Review is shaping up to be an interesting and educational tasting for visitors, with various producers and generics - including Wines of Chile, New Zealand Winegrowers, Washington Wine Board, Wine Australia and the Alsace Wine Board all helping us secure some amazing Rieslings from around the world to taste alongside a top line-up from Germany. We're producing a tasting book for the tasting so details about all the Rieslings featured in the tasting will be included in the book, along with an area for you to take notes about the stylistic differences.

More details will be revealed in due course about the panel discussion so if you are interested in attending the Riesling Summit or just want some more details, email us at germanwine@thisisphipps.com before 6th June. It's a trade only event so sorry, it's only open to people working in the wine industry.

For members of the trade attending the Riesling Summit, when you're done, don't forget to head over to the Vinho Verde tasting which is being held at Sugar Quay (EC3R 6DU). You get the opportunity to taste a range of the region’s top producers and attend a master class led by Portuguese Wine Writer of the year 2010, Tom Cannavan.Miss it at your peril!
