Selections from the Terry Theise Portfolio with Derek Whitaker
Terry Theise is known as a prophet, a master, a hedonist, a glutton, a dork. He is celebrated for his exceptionally expressive wine descriptions that venture far from the "hints of blackberry and cocoa" that inundate mainstream wine reviews. Sex, drugs, music, religion and just about anything else are fair game for his eloquent and witty tangents which have led many to look at wine in a whole new way. He is also this year’s recipient of the prestigious James Beard Foundation Medal for the Nation’s Outstanding Wine and Spirits Professional for his role as a champion of small-producers making "real" wines. We are extremely pleased to have Derek Whitaker with us this evening to guide us through the tasting. Derek works with Atlantic Importing Co. and is one of Boston’s most respected wine experts (and a great guy!). We are sure he will dazzle you with his extensive knowledge of these wines from Austria and Germany.
