Phenomenal Pfalz (Germany) - Meet the winemaker: Philipp Kuhn

Join (a very excited!) Jimmy Smith who will be co-hosting with the fantastic Philipp Kuhn and his eponymous winery in the Pfalz, Germany (Philip will be joining on-line). Jimmy recently visited Pfalz in April/May 2025 and was really blown-away by the quality of the region which often flies under the radar and in the shadow of the other German regions. One stand-out was the excellent Weingut Philipp Kuhn, and so we are over-the-moon to be able to showcase a selection of these wines in this exclusive wine tasting masterclass.!

Philipp Kuhn is synonymous with exceptional quality in the world of wine, renowned for producing top-tier dry Rieslings alongside outstanding red and white Burgundian styles from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, Philipp Kuhn has established a reputation that stands tall in both national and international circles. Philipp Kuhn's impressive portfolio comprises wines sourced from some of the most celebrated single vineyards such as Kirschgarten, Saumargen, Steinbuckel and Schwarzer Herrgot. These sites are not only steeped in tradition but are also continually recognised for their outstanding terroir, which imparts distinctive qualities to each wine. Rigorous selection and expert vinification guarantee that every bottle embodies the essence of its origin.

Jimmy has hand-picked his favourite wines from Philipp Kuhn (this was hard to do as there were so many fantastic wines) and will be tasting them live with Philipp. If you are thinking of doing the new German Wine Scholar course in 2026 then this tasting will certainly get you in the mood, and in good preparation for your journey into German wine.
