Happy Easter/Passover! It feels so good to put this terrible winter behind us, and spring into Spring! Our program for April is once again, something completely different. Many of you have asked about Grosses Gewachs, the “great growth” designation on certain wines made by members of the German wine growers association known as the “VDP.” These wines are produced in small quantities according to very stringent requirements and often command a much higher price than the wines produced under the 1971 German Wine Law that includes the pradikat classification system. This month, we will do our best to clear up the confusion surrounding GG’s, which will be illustrated by pouring 6 of them, all from the Mosel region, with food designed to complement the wines. The program details are
