We will have 100 wines from Austria & Germany. From Germany the focus will be on the varietal Riesling and its amazing ability to range in style from dry to strength of fruit. For red wines the rising star in Germany is Pinot Noir. In Austria the main white is Gruner Veltliner and for reds we will have a focus on Zweigelt and St. Laurent.
