Learning Objectives:

1. A basic understanding of the climatic and varietal differences between five key German regions

2. Overview of how the German wine landscape is changing and the trends that we’re seeing, driven by a new generation of winemakers

3. How young German winemakers are working with old vines in light of climate change, vintage challenges, and changing consumer tastes
