Austrian Wine Class

Tuesday, May 28, 2013

6:00 – 8:00 PM

For years Austria has been producing some of the most profound and food-friendly wines in Europe. White wines that are every bit as complex as Burgundies. Red wines that are as distinctive as those from the Northern Rhone. But it’s only recently that the US consumer has started to discover these gems. So get rid of any pre-conceived notions that you have about Austrian wines (the only thing they share with Germany is a common language!).

The hills are alive with the taste of Gruner Veltliner and Zweigelt!

$29.00 prepaid reservation required.

After experiencing the Wines represented by Dreadnought, patrons can order the wines they like, and pick them up two business days later (as required by state law). Pittsburgh wine lovers can meet and greet each other at these regular Casual Wine Classes twice monthly, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at the Dreadnought Wines store at 2013 Penn Avenue in the Strip District.
