There is no such organization as the International Grand Confrerie Sommeliers, let alone 23 other members. I would avoid this event.

Wine Tasting Klasse
16 Sep 6:00pm
Join one of only 24 International Grand Confrerie Sommeliers in the world, Krunch Kretschmar , for a tasting of fine German wines with strolling violinists on the Terrasse at sunset.
A respect for 2,000 years of viticultural tradition, combined with quality oriented, environmentally-friendly vineyard practices and state-of-the-art cellar technology, put German vintners in the vanguard of contemporary winemakers.
Most of Germany's vineyards are planted on slopes or steep hills topped by protective forests that check the wind, and almost always near a sun-reflecting river - primarily the Rhine and its tributaries - which helps temper the climate.
Germany is one of the most northerly wine-growing countries in the world. The growing season is long, with a balance of rainfall and sunshine. It enables grapes to ripen slowly, and thus maintain their fruity acidity while developing natural sugars and absorbing minerals from the soil. The succession of warm days and cool nights in autumn brings forth an aromaticity that is unique in the world. "Cool climate" wines are generally lower in alcohol, yet more aromatic and fruitier - perfect prerequisites for a good food companion
Reservation required, limited capacity
$20 per person includes appetizers, wine and entertainment"To get long" meant to make do, to make well of whatever we had; it was about having a long view, which was endurance, and a long heart, which was hope.
