German Wines from the Bowler Portfolio at Flatiron Wines & Spirits – San Francisco, CA

Flatiron Wines & Spirits is pleased to welcome Evan Spingarn from Bowler Wine (bowlerwine.com, @bowlerwine), for an evening exploring German wines from one of the country’s most respected importers and distributors. Since its founding in 2003, Bowler Wine has built a reputation for representing family-run estates that prioritize organic and biodynamic farming, with Germany standing as one of the cornerstones of their portfolio from day one.

What gives Bowler’s German selection its particular depth is their partnership with Willie Glūckstern, a forty-plus year veteran and self-proclaimed “King of the Literflasche.” Willie is widely regarded as one of America’s greatest German wine buyers, spending more time on the ground in German wine country than perhaps anyone else in the import business. His expertise and relationships have allowed Bowler to build a German portfolio that balances established quality with exciting discoveries that offer genuine value.

Evan brings his own deep knowledge of the Bowler portfolio and the stories behind each producer. This tasting offers an opportunity to explore the range and quality that define Bowler’s approach to German wine—from the classic regions and varietals that have made Germany famous to lesser-known gems that showcase the country’s diversity. Whether you’re a Riesling devotee or curious about Germany’s other offerings, this evening promises to reveal why Bowler’s German selections have earned such respect among trade professionals and wine lovers alike.

Join us for a journey through one of Europe’s most dynamic wine countries, guided by someone who understands both the history and the current evolution of German winemaking.
