Christian Adams does not give a &*% if you think you don’t like Riesling.
He’s here to tell you to drink it anyway—Riesling, and every other variety that makes German wine so good today.
A German and American citizen, Christian has worked harvests in the Rheingau and Franken, and has run celebrated wine programs in Carmel, San Francisco, and his hometown of Aschaffenburg, Germany. For years he represented the wines of the retired, famed importer Rudi Wiest, and now he’s the Western US Sales Manager for the German Wine Collection, the heir apparent to Rudi’s best producers and some of the most distinguished, classic estates in Deutschland.
This Thursday, August 27, Christian is pouring some of the very best still and sparkling Riesling (looking at you, Raumland and GG Karthäuserhof) but this tasting is about so much more than one grape variety. Don’t miss this!
