Hearth Wine Dinners... Summer of Riesling Starts NOW with The Rieslings of Johannes Leitz

As we proceed headlong into our Summer of Riesling celebration, we are honored to kick off the festivities on Monday, June 22nd, 2009 with a Riesling Dinner focusing on the glorious wines of Johannes Leitz.

Johannes is a rock star in the Rheingau region, crafting majestic wines from the sheer rock slopes above the town of Rüdesheim. This is classic Riesling territory...awesome terroir, glorious sunlight, the mighty Rhine River below you and a man and his dog overseeing wines that embody weight and buoyancy, power and finesse. One of the rages now in Germany is with trocken (dry) wine and we will delve fully into this world along with the usual journey through the predikat levels of sweetness. The dinner will be comprised of 4 courses, matched with 9 different wines from the Leitz cellar.

Every day is a good day to drink Riesling. But a day filled with the life force of Johannes Leitz and his interpretations of the Rheingau dirt is a most majestic occasion.

Monday, June 22nd, 2009 7:00pm $99.00 $75.00 if you can answer our quiz.
