Officially wave goodbye to those January blues by joining Wines of Germany and Flatiron Wine & Spirits for a virtual German wine masterclass series that explores the varying levels of sugar in Germany’s hallmark grape, Riesling, as well as the country’s lesser-known varieties.

Hosted by Clara Dalzell, these classes will encourage you to talk, taste and explore Germany’s diverse terroirs and producers. Be prepared to walk away knowing another thing or two about the greatness that nature can offer in wine form!
