From Today through the 26th, we’re hosting a Sherpa’s Riesling Day special. A bit of a misnomer, as our ‘day’ is 2 weeks long, but we don’t think you’ll mind great deals on great wine going for a long time. 

Riesling is a well-loved and one of the most important grape vareties in Germany. The term ‘Riesling’ was first recorded in the history books after Earl Johann IV purchased vine shoots and planted them in his vineyards in the town of Rüsselsheim near Frankfurt, Germany 588 years ago on March 13th, 1435.

Thanks to that single event, Germany is considered the homeland of Riesling, with 45% of the world’s Riesling grapes grown here. Riesling is considered synonymous with German wine, and almost a quarter of German vineyards plant it.

Ok, enough of the history lesson. Let’s celebrate Riesling’s Birthday!  

Join the fun and raise a glass of Riesling! Proßt!
