Austrian Night at VinoVenue in San Francisco

[winemonger]

Tuesday, March 8, 4:30 - 7:30 pm - Austrian Night

Meet Johann Donabaum and Franz Josef Gritsch. These young men are really interesting: both are 26, went to the famous wine school in Krems, and have now taken over their own long-standing family wineries. Donabaum has been on the “best up-and-coming” list in the Wine Report for the past two years, and Gritsch was on it this year. Both make wines that are already scoring in the low-to-mid 90’s, and Donabaum won the Falstaff “Gruner Veltliner Cup” in 2003, besting out some of the most respected names in the country. This is their first visit to the US, and their wines will be making their California debut at VinoVenue. Don’t miss out on the chance to meet these energetic young winemakers. $5 per person.
