Tele-Tasting live with Winegrowers

by Dorli Muhr

So now they are cancelled, all the lovely events. The tastings of select wines, the round tables of rarities... Instead, we find ourselves sitting at home staring at the screen all evening. But we can become connected, thought Clemens Riedl and Markus Inzinger. They call the result trinkreif Tele-Tasting

A short time ago it would have seemed utopian, but in our current situation it is almost logical: a tasting with the producer, not in the same room, but rather via video conference. trinkreif, the Viennese merchant specialising in particularly fine and mature wines, makes it possible that wine lovers can further develop their palates and increase their knowledge even in this time of crisis. You order the wines in advance, cool them down, make yourself comfortable in your isolation at home with glasses & spittoon & corkscrew – and then connect online with the winegrower, who then leads you through the evening with stories and comments: questions answered, nuances of flavour explained, curiosity satisfied.

For each tasting, the trinkreif team will put together a separate package (150 euros), which sill be delivered in advance. Participation is limited to twelve persons per live session. Registrations are now being accepted. Registration and all relevant information at: www.trinkreif.at Tastings with sommeliers on certain topics are also offered. All information can be found here on the trinkreif website: www.trinkreif-at./sommelier-tastings

About trinkreif:

The passion for matured wines; that was what originally brought Markus Inzinger and Clemens Riedl together. For the two IT professionals, wine is ‘the most beautiful avocation in the world’. They opened a premium garage-wine-merchant with the name trinkreif in 2015, which specialises in wines that are exactly that: trinkreif (ready to drink). Because they want to share the opportunity to drink mature wines at a good price-performance ratio, and are thus perfectly in tune with the times.

About trinkreif

For Upper Austria natives Clemens Riedl and Markus Inzinger, wine is the world’s loveliest pastime. The pair came to realize that they wanted to share their private love for mature (‘trinkreif’) wines with friends, and friends of friends. In 2015 they brought that dream to life, opening a wine retailing operation that they dubbed trinkreif. The duo filled a significant need in the German-speaking world, and Vienna had its first premium garage wine store.
