Thank you GACC!

It was an absolute pleasure co-hosting this Virtual Wine tasting for our friends at the German American Chamber of Commerce (GACC). While I was pouring Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noirs from three different German wine regions, we enjoyed beautiful live music by the talented Eleanor Dubinsky and had the opportunity to meet new and interesting people. I look forward to meet everyone in person later this year but am grateful we are getting together on these virtual sessions in the meantime. Reminder that we are pricing our own label Grand Cru Spätburgunder from Weingut Nelles at 50% off retail as an exclusive offer to all GACC members.

Best Wine Lists in New York

One of the key drivers to start the Wünder small batch Pinot project in NYC was the excitement that this underrated varietal carries here with Sommeliers in Top Restaurants. When we launched, we dedicated 50 cases to Manhattan Restaurants with the best wine lists ranked by Gayot. This all happened just before Covid and very few cases have moved. While I was concerned about this pandemic and the devastating impact it would have on the world, I never worried about this project. It is a matter of time that we will be out there again, enjoying great food and wine in these spectacular places and we are excited to be part of that re-opening journey.
