Online Access Pass for One - 31 Days of Riesling Masterclass
July sees the wine world join together for the annual "31 Days of Riesling" celebrations. And to recognise this, we're joining forces with other members of the Local Wine School to spend two evenings singing the praises of this most distinctive, delicious and aristocratic of grapes.  The bad news - you've missed the first session when we tried wines from German & Alsace in France. The good news, if you're quick, you can still make it for session two this coming Saturday 1st August - OK, that makes it 32 Days of Riesling, but you can't have too much Riesling... The evening will see us engaged in the Great Riesling Grape Debate, with three Wine School owners going head-to-head to convince you of the merits of Rieslings from different corners of the New World. In the Clifton corner we have Ruth Wiles, waxing lyrical about the steely, lime-tinged Rieslings of South Australia’s Eden Valley. Manchester’s resident Riesling expert, Simon Woods (that's ME!) will be waving the Stars and Stripes for Riesling from Washington State in America's Pacific Northwest, where the wines tend to be softer and plumper, with a delicate floral edge. Going in to battle from the Midlands Team we have Rob from Birmingham, with a sprightly single-vineyard wine from Chile’s Leyda Valley.   The wines for the tasting are available to order via Great Wine Co with a special Local Wine School discount of 10%. We will send you the link for this when you book your place Book your online access below and we will send instructions on how to join the meeting through the Zoom platform from a desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile phone.  This pass covers access for One person to the Great Riesling Debate on August 1st If you would like a pass for two people to attend both tastings please CLICK HERE
