The Rieslingfeier, now in its third edition will take place on January 30 and 31, 2015 is a series of events celebrating Riesling. It is composed of:

• A series of seminars on January 30-31 held at the Modern in New York (What is Kabinett, Saar diversity, Riesling and the Rhein and Riesling Reborn) with leading winemakers and moderated by renowned journalists.
• A “Riesling crawl” in the afternoon of January 31, which is free and open to the public with winemakers pouring wines at a set of German wine retailers in New York

• A gala dinner in the evening of January 31, set up like a Paulée in Burgundy, i.e. a grand dinner at which the winemakers and the participants bring their best bottles to celebrate the beauty of Riesling.

The list of the participating winemaking Estates is superb:

• Hofgut Falkenstein (Johannes Weber)
