Thursday 17 May 2018, a few German wines

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:

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.
