Join vom Boden’s Stephen Bitterolf Wednesday, May 4th at 7pm EST for a FREE, in-depth Weiser-Künstler / Middle Mosel Masterclass exploring one of the most cerebral growers in the Mosel.
To sign up, email us at orders@vomboden.com and we’ll add you to the list.
Yes, this will be a Zoom tasting (sorry about that) BUT, we will be sending every participant a custom Google Earth presentation that we’ll be using to really give everyone (literally) a 3D experience that we hope will be impactful.
The class will use Weiser-Künstler’s three Grand Cru bottlings – the Ellergrub, Gaispfad and Steffensberg – as guideposts along our route, focusing on these three sites and their importance and individuality in the context of the Mosel.
You certainly don’t have to have all or any of these wines to join, but we strongly encourage you to have them on hand AND, uniquely, this year we can help you get them! Because of the pandemic many restaurants in Europe had to cancel their allocations, so we have a bit more than normal and for once, we may actually have enough quantity to send some to you.
Email us at orders@vomboden.com or reply to this email and we will do our best to put you in touch with an authorized Weiser-Künstler dealer near you.
Weiser-Künstler is one of the most respected, most influential growers in the Mosel – they are the ultimate “winemaker’s winemaker.” Yet, because of both supply-side challenges (they make just excruciatingly small quantities of wine) as well as the rather cerebral quality of their wines, they remain curiously unknown in the US. It’s a strange situation: A small minority fanatically collects these wines while a larger audience seems to have no context or experience with them.
This is what we want to change. For me, there are few growers in the Mosel with more depth or soul. Perhaps these are not the easiest wines, but this is part of their magic – and they are unquestionably singular in the landscape of Mosel wine and they deserve their moment in the spotlight.
So Wednesday, May 4th at 7:00pm, please join me for this tribute to my friends Konstantin Weiser and Alexandra Künstler and the soulful, profound wines they lovingly make.
More information below; if you have any questions please reach out and I hope to see you May 4th.
We will be focusing on three specific wines, the Weiser-Künstler Grand Crus Ellergrub, Gaispfad and Steffensberg. If you would like help finding these wines or to sign up for the class please email us at orders@vomboden.com and we will send you our Google Earth presentation as well as the link for the Zoom call.
