Selbach-Oster Dinner with Johannes Selbach

Selbach-Oster | February 7th | 6PM | Wild Ginger in Seattle

Join us for our first winemaker dinner of 2013! 

A meet the winemaker dinner featuring a selection of Selbach-Oster wines, paired with Wild Ginger's Southeast Asian cuisine, presented by Johannes Selbach.

Ancestors of the Selbach family have been cultivating Riesling, on their family estate nestled on the hills below the Mosel, since the 1600's. Today, Johannes Selbach and his wife Barbara are paying homage to the long standing family tradition of producing high-quality German wines.

But what about Oster? Johannes' great-grandfather, Matthias Oster-a cooper by profession- handcrafted his own oak barrels, which were graciously filled with Selbach wine. The barrels were then stored on the family's steamship and shipped down the Mosel, and the Rhine, to the North Sea ports. The winery continued to develop as a top estate in the region offering a broad and comprehensive range of distinguished German Selbach-Oster wines.  

Meet winemaker Johannes Selbach while sampling a selection of his wines paired with the robust flavors of Wild Ginger at the Selbach-Oster winemaker dinner on February 7, at 6PM, at our Seattle location.

$75 per person, not including tax and gratuity. Space is limited, to reserve your seat, call 206.623.4450.
