Austrian Wine Class with Eric Danch
Friday, September 18, 6 - 7:30
Donkey & Goat Winery
1340 5th Street, Berkeley
Everyone's favorite storyteller, Eric Danch, is joining us for an Austrian wine class on Friday, September 19, at Donkey & Goat Winery. The class will begin at 6. It's been a minute since we've had classes in the East Bay, and we're thrilled to be hosted by Donkey & Goat, one of the pioneering California natural wine producers.
While Austria is a small country, the wine is varied from the mineral-laden Grüner Veltliners and Rieslings of the Wachau to the red wines of Burgenland. Eric will cover the gamut, infusing his experiences as a wine importer throughout. And those of you who've taken our Central European wine classes with Eric know he's anything but boring.
$75 for the class, $65 for the food and beverage industry, and essential workers, seniors, educators, and students. Email info@thevinguard.com for the discount code.
