This is a FREE event, from 5:30-7:30pm, but we do ask you to RSVP to events@crushwineco.com and let us know how many are in your party.
Clemens Busch commands the respect of just about everyone. In the formidably humid Mosel he farms organically, which is nothing short of a Herculean accomplishment. Clemens himself is a formidable figure, a strong man with a sort of Dagueneau "wild man" look going on. That said, he smiles a lot and is incredibly thoughtful. Forgive me for making this clichéd jump, but the winemaker and his wines are very similar indeed: Broad-shouldered with an obvious force and power. Yet don't let the dazzling weight of these wines fool you - they show incredible depth and a diversity of terroir with a sort of scary complexity. Utterly distinctive and unforgettable. For you Grosses Gewächs fans, do not miss the mammoth 2007 Marienburg.
And if that weren't enough, we'll also have good friends Lars Carlberg and Dan Melia in the store as well, pouring a selection of soulful dry Rieslings from Ulli Stein, including the "Crush Wine of the Year," the 2008 Stein Palmberg-Terrassen Spätlese Trocken.
See the full lineup below: All the wines are honest expressions of some of the Mosel's most intriguing sites. They deserve to be experienced...and then, to be supported!
We hope to see you on Thursday.
