Why is it that many of the world’s critics view Riesling as the greatest white wine grape? Indeed, some will just say it is the greatest wine grape of any colour.
The chameleon character of Riesling is not easy to understand, many of its most famous wines have names so indecipherable that even the brave will run in fear from pronunciation.
But it is the greatest food wine on earth.
And without doubt it is the most versatile grape there is.
In a global journey comparing some of the foremost Rieslings in the world with New Zealand’s finest, we will hope to convert you to the cause. The tasting will be hosted by Nigel Greening, owner of Felton Road wines.
Some rare and valuable bottles will be opened, matched to four delicious courses of food from “Panini Noir”: Felton Road’s exclusive kitchen.
Friday 21st MAY 2010, at The Venue, Orchard Road Wanaka. 6.30pm – 8.30pm
Tickets $100. Proceeds go to the Star programme at Wanaka Primary School.
There is a strict limit of 32 guests. Only 7 tickets left ; From Wanaka Fine Wines
A great night last night. I had lots of fun and learned some stuff too – what more could you ask? Thanks so much to Kharis and Nigel (and Hamish) for their amazing work and generosity , and also a huge hand to Callum and Carol – YUM! And to everyone who helped in every way. The only downside for me was going home and looking in my own fridge…..Nigel, any recipe ideas for half a can of tuna and some spag. bol. sauce with a layer of mould on top?
