“Summer of Riesling” – RN74 on July 20th

The fine San Francisco restaurant /wine bar RN74 is hosting a Riesling-soaked event on Tuesday, July 20th – “The Summer of Riesling” – from 6:00 until 10:00.  It’s a great way to taste 30 Rieslings (many from our portfolio!) which have been deliciously paired with live jazz and RN74′s inspired menu as well as a few Riesling-inspired selections available in their atrium. Wines are available by the taste as well as the glass, as shown in the list posted below.

Wine lovers will not want to miss this memorable evening – the first of several available the following week, which is German Riesling Week 2010 (click here for info on our kick-off event at Dee Vine Wines)
