GERMAN SPEAKING WINES?

Here I will be sharing my thoughts on German-speaking wines with you.

Stuart Pigott has discussed this theme in great detail in his wonderful book 'WEIN SPRICHT DEUTSCH' (engl. WINE SPEAKS GERMAN - doesn't seem to have an english edition though). Not as elaborate, competent or interesting as Stuart Pigott, I'll be sharing with you my own personal thoughts and insights on this subject. Soon...
