Vino Faire Charity Wine Tasting Event w/hors d'oeuvres to benefit National Marrow Donor Program May 8, 2008

Vino Faire invites you to join us for an evening of tasting fine German wines paired with a fabulous assortment of gourmet hors d'oeuvres. This is a charity event with net proceeds and any additional contributions to benefit the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP). Treat yourself and a friend to a casual yet elegant wine and food experience in the beautiful Emerald Hills overlooking Palo Alto and the San Francisco Bay. Tickets are limited. $40 per person - must be over 21.

You will have the rare opportunity to meet one of the great Mosel winemakers, Mr. Karsten Becker, and chat with him about the long history of winemaking in the Mosel and the foods he likes best with his Rieslings. Wines from Weingut Becker-Steinhauer will be featured at this event.

Besides the Mosel, we will also be featuring wines from the Nahe, Rheinhessen, and Pfalz regions. You will be pleasantly surprised to find a full-range of dry to sweet Riesling styles to suit a wide variety of food pairings plus many other tasty varietals that you may not know about yet including RED varietals such as Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), Dornfelder, and Portugieser. In addition to Rieslings, there will be white varietals such as Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc), Muscat, Rivaner, Scheurebe, Chardonnay, and Auxerrois.
