Want to sample what Karen MacNeil of “The Wine Bible” calls one of the most “vibrant dinner wines in the world”? Then join Dee Vine Wines for a Riesling & Oysters Tasting Event on Saturday, September 11th, from 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm. Upon entry, you’ll sample over a dozen Rieslings, and pair them with succulent shellfish like clams, grilled shrimp, and 6 raw oyster varieties. Your pass will also include a Dee Vine Wines logo glass, entry tickets for a raffle and multiple drawings, and a bona fide program guide.

As one of San Francisco’s premiere purveyors of fine and rare wines, Dee Vine Wines offers the best of France, Spain, and Germany with aplomb. Located at Pier 19, it sells wine by the bottle and crate, and has a sommelier-caliber staff on board.

Wander through Dee Vine’s unique warehouse digs, and you’ll find everything from Castillo de Sajazarra Rioja Digma to Domaine René Engel Vosne-Romanée. Oenophiles will rejoice in selections from over eight German regions and seven levels of ripeness, as well as varietals like Spatburgunder, Tempranillo, and Rhone Blends. Chardonnays, Pinots, and Sauvignon Blancs also grace the roster, as does Dee Vine’s specialty: German Riesling.

* It’s a unique experience. Held in what some patrons have called a relic of the “Al Capone “ era, Dee Vine Wines’ Pier 19 warehouse location is an exciting deviation from the typical city wine bar.
*Who doesn't like oysters, clams, and grilled shrimp?
* It’s knowledgeable. Don’t know the difference between Auselese and Trockenbeerenauslese? Dee Vine’s experts do, and they’ll be happy to tell you.

Simply Dee Vine.
