This wine kit features six 180ml bottles, selected by Wine Expert Jimmy Smith in collaboration with Master The World. You can taste the six wines across Germany's most essential regions with Jimmy Smith on May 1st at 1 PM Pacific. Register for the complimentary Zoom here. A recording will be available the following day. Ground shipping is included, and 2-day air is available at $10 per kit.
While Master The World kits typically explore wines from around the globe, this edition takes a focused deep dive into one of the world's most complex and rewarding wine countries — Germany. Together with Jimmy, you'll taste the stunning range and precision that makes German wine one of the most rewarding — and most misunderstood — categories for wine lovers. From a bone-dry Riesling to a delicate off-dry Spätlese, from an old-vine Rheinhessen GG to two expressions of Spätburgunder, each wine has been chosen to expand your knowledge and sharpen your palate. Through the blind tasting, you'll be guided through Germany's Prädikat system, its VDP classification, and the crucial distinction between ripeness at harvest and sweetness in the glass — unlocking the language that makes German wine truly speak.
The 'Mastering Germany' series on the WWJ Club is the most comprehensive tutor-led pre-recorded course on Germany filmed by Jimmy Smith. It includes in-depth presentations of all things German wine, including the 13 wine regions and key producer interviews. The WWJ Club is a monthly subscription service for only £3.99/month.
Curious about what the wines are? See the wines listed in alphabetical order. It can still be a "single-blind tasting" for you when you get the kit, as they will be arranged in a different tasting order.
