However, thanks for the comment about the Cisterns. I don't know anything about Cisterns making wine in what is now Germany, but can imagine there would be interesting terriors perhaps lost to history (at least here in the new world). One of the most interesting aspects of wine to me is the change over time in what is considered the best. We get very caught up in how certain appellations and certain expressions of any grape are "the best" today when things were very different in the past and likely different in the future. Shows to me the subjective nature of wine appreciation, and how we should all be a bit more humble before proclaiming greatness and, by extension, what else doesn't "obviously" measure up.Vincent Fritzschehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153962387209512138noreply@blogger.com
