Germany

"We may finally have exited the era where German wines conjure first old sad memories of Liebfraumilch and other poorly made cloying bulk sweet wines that have nothing to offer but head or stomach pains. Germany is today one of the most dynamic wine-producing countries on earth. The greatest bottles made here (often Riesling, but not always) challenge all comers with their bracing acidity and fierce mineral exposition. The sheer pleasure of these wines is unmatched." - Sam Ehrlich, French Portfolio Manager
