with Master Sommelier Matt Citriglia
Thursday, September 25, 2014 • 6:30 pm
Please join us as we explore the wines of Germany.
Master Sommelier Matthew Citriglia will lead us in a tasting of ten wines. We have not limited this dinner to just Riesling, in fact we will taste three other alternative white varietals as well as a Pinot Noir (originally the first varietal planted in Germany was Pinot Noir). One of Matt’s specialties is the wines of Germany, so we were thrilled when he said he would co-host this event.
Matthew’s 22 years of experience in the wine industry includes retail ownership, as well as restaurant and wholesale management. His thirst for knowledge drove him to compete against some of America’s best sommeliers at several sommelier competitions, and in February 2002, Matthew become a member of the prestigious Court of Master Sommeliers. His passion for service and education led to the creation of The Winementor, Ltd, focused on bringing honor back to the art of service through a series of training seminars geared toward motivating and educating wait staff.
