The Riesling
Revolution – a journey to the heart of this great grape variety
The Grain Store, at Ballymaloe, 7pm on Thursday 17th May 2012 €25
Joining us to present the evening are 3 winemakers from 3 of the great Riesling growing regions of the world:
‐ Tim Adams, Clare Valley, South Australia
‐ Carl Ehrhard, Rheingau, Germany
‐ Séverine Schlumberger, Domaine Schlumberger, Alsace, France
& chaired by John Wilson, wine writer, The Irish Times
This unique Riesling presentation is organised by Ballymaloe in association with John McDonnell, Wine Australia Ireland. The wines will be both from the visiting winemakers themselves, as well as a selection of other producer’s wines as well - so the visiting winemaker will be proudly flying the flag for their own region, tasting our way through the different styles of Riesling - dry, aged, off-dry and sweet.
The cost per person for the tasting is €25. Advance booking advised.
Immediately following the wine presentation & tasting, there is the option of staying on to enjoy a Slow Food Summer Supper plate of artisan produce from local food producers, fisherman and cheesemakers. This part is priced (separately to the wine event) at €35 and proceeds from this, will go to the East Cork Slow Food Educational Project.
