Long Night of German Wine 2013

and

Hearth Restaurant

salute the

Lange Nacht des deutschen Weins

Thursday July 25th

11:00pm

Our close friend and über lover of German wine, Stuart Pigott,

is returning to New York to spread the gospel of deutsches Weins in America.

And we have decided to take advantage of Stuart's generosity and knowledge

with the third annual celebration of the German Wine Land.

His generosity comes in the form of sending over a multitude of supremely wonderful wine from his cellar and a few from the cellar of his friend, Roy Metzdorf of Berlin's Restaurant Weinstein.

In addition (because Stuart moves in mysterious ways), three young winemakers from Germany:

Christine Huff, Mirjam Schneider and Eva Vollmer

will be joining us to pour their wines which have never been shown in the U.S.A.

Stuart is also bringing over 1 bottle of Riesling Eiswein, Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle, Nahe State Domaine, 1983, Nahe to be auctioned off.

Apparently, this was the first German icewine to blow Stuart's mind!

To add to the festive fervor, our chef, Marco Canora, is roasting two suckling pigs.

Lots of Riesling and Roasted Pork is a match made in any heaven.

There is one caveat, though.

We are raising money this night for a charity very close to Stuart's heart: the HOPE Charity in South Africa,

which dedicates money to the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS.

The cost for the gathering is $60.00* and every single penny goes to HOPE.

(*exclusive of $4.29 fee)

(Please note the 48 hour cancellation policy)
