Riesling & Co. 2016
German Wines Institute
May 17, 2016
The German Wine Institute in collaboration with German Wine Canada held its annual professional wine tasting at the Galerie Lounge TD (Maison du Festival). This event also represented a Montreal stop of the 31 day across Canada tour of German Riesling Wine.
The event started with an in-depth seminar on German Riesling wines, held over lunch time, and hosted by Ulrike Lenhardt from the Deutsches Weininstitut. Ten wines, the bottles of which are shown in the photo at the top of the article, were tasted. A four course meal was served to discover the perfect marriage of wines and food. The seminar provided a trove of information about which wines came from which regions in Germany, and even elaborated on soil composition and specific whether pasterns of various Germany's wine growing regions.
Overall, 23 German wine distributors and producers participated in this German wine tasting event. Their booth and displays welcomed many industry professional, local wine connoisseurs, wine promoters, and retail store wine buyers.
There was also plenty of food from the local Quebec producers to make the tasting event even more enjoyable.
