Deep Thoughts by Gothamist

The winemaker's job is hard, back-breaking work. On top of that, he only has maybe 30 – 35 times to perfect their craft over a lifetime. A baker has every day to improve upon his work. Mess up the black and white cookies today, try again tomorrow. The winemaker only gets a shot at it once a year. But he gets to drive a tractor; he should stop complaining.

Jerome Hasenpflug with S.A. Prum Mosel, one of Gothamist’s favorite German wine producers, will be holding a seminar, tasting and dinner at The Mark next Monday, August 7th. Tickets are $90, but you get to wine and dine with Jerome (hear his plight) and swap secrets with Master Sommelier Richard Dean. Can you put a price tag on that kind of entertainment? Apparently you can.

Jerome Hasenpflug is not the winemaker for S.A. Prum. He is an great wine educator though, and he works for the import company that brings S.A. Prum into this country. A delight to listen to but not a winemaker.
