Riesling From Slate to Shale
Thu, 16 Apr
|Barrels & Stills Hawthorne

About the event
Forget what you think you know about Riesling. It’s not just a "sweet wine"—it is the most versatile, food-friendly, and electrically vibrant grape on the planet. Join Matt O’Brien from Cellar Hand for a deep dive into the four corners of the Riesling world. We’re putting the world’s most iconic terroirs side-by-side to see how geography creates vastly different styles in your glass.
