Producer Spotlight: Mosel Greats from Markus Molitor

He’s earned perfect 100 point ratings from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate 21 times. He’s both a true hands-on, locally grown, winemaker and, with 240 acres of vines, the largest family-owned winery in Germany’s Mosel region.  He makes 30+ wines each vintage, from fully dry, off-dry and lusciously sweet Rieslings to complex and highly drinkable Pinot Noir.  As Vinous said last year, Markus Molitor “is a force of nature.”

While many American wine lovers have a fairly simple perception of German wine, so much is happening in German wine these days that it’s time to dig in and catch up!  Which you can do with us and Bertrand Blanchez of Molitor’s local importer on Wednesday, January 22 from 5:00-7:30pm.  No fee – just reserve your space at one of the five 30 minute slots and come discover the joys of modern German Mosel wine!

We’ll be focusing just on Riesling in this tasting as we run the range from dry to off-dry to sweet with six wines:
