The Summer of Riesling 2012Â begins on Tuesday, June 19th*
Borrowing a page from Phil Collins in 1985 Â
(he played both the London AND the Washington Concerts for Live Aid…on the same day),
we are going to go big this year…hosting FOUR Riesling Dinners, all on the same night.
 Â
Each dinner will involve four courses with matching wines,
the full menus for which can be seen at the end of this missive.
Even better: each dinner will have a producer/ producers to guide the conversation along.
  Â
