Last weekend we visited
Munich and tasted some delicious German wines. The white wines such as Riesling, Chardonnay, Sylvaner, are well-known, but we also tried a couple of German reds. Have a look at the link:
German wines, or see the link list right.
Wikipedia also suggests these well-known wine regions:
German wine regions
When I lived in UK, our town, Hitchin, was twinned with Bingen am Rhein, and we enjoyed visiting the German town and its environs, and tasting wines from the
Nahe region. We have also visited the town of Trier and tasted the Piesporter wines from the
Moselle region.
Evi Hock, the former Wine Discovery chairlady, also introduced us to the wines from the
Franconian region, with their distinctively-shaped bottles.
On Thursday 24 May, the ZIWA Wine Lovers' group held a tasting of South African wines provided by Viniversum, a local wine seller.The occasion was organised and hosted by Bina Shah, and I assisted her and provided the food. Fifteen wine group members and eight of their partners enjoyed the spring evening at Bina's atelier in Binz.
We learnt a great deal about South African wines and the history of its wine production from Paul and Manfred from Viniversum. See link right to South African wines for details of all the wines we tasted and how I rated them.
