After Hours 4/25: With Winemaker Christian Binner
Date: Friday, April 25
Time: 6-7:30pm
One would be hard pressed to name a winemaker in Alsace more synonymous with, or catalytic to, the natural wine world at large.
Since taking over for his father, Joseph, in 1998 Christian has continually calibrated his trajectory, steadfastly seeking more holistic, more regenerative, more forthright wine growing and wine making practices. He is a local pioneer of Biodynamic farming, and in 2012 he debuted his painstakingly constructed bioclimatic cellar, naturally insulated with a prairie roof.
As it stands, Christian has honed his work into producing (to quote wine writer Aaron Ayscough) “a triumphant parade of lush, pure, unfiltered and unsulfited whites and reds, supplemented by a panoply of splendid orange wines.”
As a tinkerer and a thinker, Christian has inspired a generation of growers in the region and beyond, and yet it still feels refreshingly like he’s just getting started!
We are certainly honored to host him in the space to talk about his work and the rich history of Alsace - its transformative move towards natural wine making, and its bright future.
This is a private tasting to allow guests time to ask questions and engage with the group. All tasting wines will be offered at 10% discount if you want to grab any bottles to take home!
Cancellation Policy: Due to the small gathering size, tickets are non-refundable but feel free to give your ticket to a friend if you can’t make it.
In the Event of Weather: If we need to move the event because of weather and you can’t make the new event date, we can offer a credit to M&L or a refund minus 4% credit card fees.
