In the main cellar of wine merchant Weinstein (which is not under the wine restaurant of the same name) in Berlin the stars are „The 13 Breisgau Winegrowers“ (inc. Martin Frey of Weingut Frey in Denzlingen, Hans-Bert Espe & Silke Wolf of Shelter Winery in Kenzingen and Odin Bauer & Elma Lehman of Weingut Zalwander in Köndringen). Stuart Pigott will pour his dry 2009 Müller Thurgau from the Tauber Valley and a range of dry and sweet 2006s from his cellar. Because Suzanne from Restaurant Hearth inNew York is coming then there will also be a top 1988 Riesling Auslese from the Mosel! „Weinkieseln“ or German tapas from Weinstein, a short piece of wine theatre and a wine auction are all promised. I can’t wait.
