Embrace the umlaut and discover fabulous strangely named wines for stellar springtime sipping.
Austrian wines—both white and red—are some of the best kept secrets for springtime sipping. With warm, sunny days and cool nights, there is no better place on Earth for producing refreshing-yet-concentrated wines. In Austria, family farms still dominate the winemaking scene, keeping the focus on quality rather than quantity. The nation leads the world in organic wine production. There's more good news; Austrian wines offer great value. Just what are these wines? Perhaps you have have already encountered groovy Grüner Veltliner and bone-dry Austrian Riesling. But what about Gelber Muskateller and Blaufränkisch? Didn't think so. Embrace the umlaut and join us for a tour of these vibrant cool-climate delights.
This class will be taught by Tria team alum, Mariel Wega.

Mariel is now the PA sales lead for Skurnik Wines & Spirits. Way to go, Mariel!
