31 Days of German Riesling
An Open Letter From Our Riesling Overlord
Now, some of you may be asking yourselves:
"What does it mean to participate in the Summer of Riesling?"
For stalwart Acidhounds, it simply means refraining from drinking any other liquid for the entire summer.
(Except coffee of course!)
Click here to join the festivities.
If you own or operate a restaurant, wine bar, or shop and want to be part of all of this,
our request of you is very simple though it does require commitment:
Pour three Riesling by the glass for the whole 94 days of the summer
AND
During the 31 days of July, isolate two of those Rieslings to Germany for our second annual...
You now might ask yourself: Is this guy crazy?...does he realize what he is asking / demanding of us?
I do, I do, but I know you love this grape and the wine, and what better way to express that passion than a full-throttled hug!
So what do you get
in return for turning part of your establishment on its proverbial arse for the summer?
-a selection of super cool t-shirts (designed by the Stickermeister himself)
-a bevy of Riesling tattoos
-a cornucopia of buttons
-a sack full of stickers
-more Riesling info than Lady Gaga can store in her meat dress
-a personal letter of thanks from Chancellor Merkel, President Fischer,
President Sarkozy (and maybe even Carla!), Governor Cuomo,
Prime Minister Gillard and Buckminster Fuller
How can you say no to all of this ?!
I know you can't because you do truly love the greatest grape on the planet.
