Riesling Masterclass

Uncorked Vintage Academia presents an extraordinary exploration of Riesling, one of the world's most celebrated yet often misunderstood white grapes.

Join us at Somm Space for a rare opportunity to taste more than 20 exceptional Rieslings spanning the globe, from bone-dry and sparkling styles to off-dry classics, noble sweet wines, and legendary aged bottlings.

Through benchmark producers and mature vintages, discover why Riesling is considered the ultimate expression of terroir. Compare how climate, geology, elevation, and winemaking shape dramatically different wines from the same grape while exploring why Riesling is also one of the world's longest-lived white varieties.

Our journey spans Germany, France, Austria, Italy, Romania, Australia, the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Chile, and other emerging Riesling regions.

Special guest winemaker Mike Batek of Hye Meadow Winery will share insights into growing Riesling in Texas and lead discussions on:
