Tastings
The PR at
the time:
We
are offering a unique opportunity to collect previously
unavailable wines from great vintages at a charity auction.
Great wines
you despaired of ever being able to buy again. Wines not
even available in Germany, for example, a collection of Eiswein
from the
three greatest Eiswein
vintages in
the last 15 years ('83, '85, and'91). Cases of the great
1990 vintage that have been stored in refrigerated cellars.
A collection of wines from 1971, 1975, and 1976 that were
originally purchased back when the wines first arrived and
were impeccably stored. Profits from the auction go to the
Campagne Center, a non-profit organization that offers a
wide variety of services for children and families.
We
have a unique combination of great wines and foremost
authorities on German wine. We
have three events on Friday, three on Saturday, and one on
Sunday. All seven events are available in a package costing
only $190 for members of the German Wine Society. It
includes tastings led by Rheingau vintner Georg Breuer,
German wine importers Terry Theise, Bob Rice of Chapin
Cellars, and David Thompson of the Valkenberg group; wine
from David Schildknecht, the foremost retailer in the
United States; and Helmut Jung of the German Wine '
Institute in Mainz, Germany. Terry Theise's event will
feature wines from great older vintages, directly from the
cellars of his vintners in Germany.
At all
events, except the German Embassy reception, participants
will be seated at round tables. At the Embassy event,
participants will be able to walk from table to table to
taste wines representing each wine-growing region of
Germany.
