A Very Serious Riesling Dinner – Online Food & Wine Pairing Event

Have you ever thought of pairing Riesling with food? Do you just enjoy drinking it by itself? Or are you one of those people who just write off riesling as a “not serious” wine? Well we’re here to show you that riesling is more than just a sugary sweet drink, it’s actually one of the most versatile and wonderful food pairing wines in the world!

This online food & wine pairing event is a collaboration between Lake Geneva Country Meats, Simple Café in Lake Geneva, and Schmitt Söhne Wines of Germany. The event features a delectable 3 course heat and eat meal that is paired with 2 wines from the Schmitt Söhne portfolio. You can add an optional third wine that is a real treat to enjoy with your dessert if you desire!

During the event, held via Zoom, we encourage you to reheat your meal and enjoy it with the wine pairings. A member of the Schmitt Söhne team will be joining us from Germany to discuss the wine and their family’s history in riesling, while Lake Geneva Country Meats’ resident wine expert Nick will host the event and help explain how the wine and food go together beautifully. This event is an awesome opportunity to try quality riesling wines and experience a fun way to pair food and wine.

This is an à la carte event that you can enjoy as you like. Purchase the options you would like to enjoy for pick up at Lake Geneva Country Meats on Thursday, January 28th between 9 AM and 5:30 PM, then join us on Zoom at 6:00 PM to enjoy your meal and the wine.
