Maybe one of the last, rare chances to taste this great vintage,
went from my hometown Hamburg in a first step some 600 KM to my beloved Riesling dry county, the Nahe, said hello at some places, restaurant Hermannshöhle, Niederhausen,
Dönnhoff, Oberhausen,
Schäfer-Fröhlich, Bockenau
Schneider, Niederhausen,
Schneider Bad Sobernheim
Started early on friday morning to make it some 450 Km to lake Biel, Switzerland for the 1982 semester rehearsal
Great ride with my Mustang GT 5,0 through Kasseler Berge on my beloved UNLIMITED GERMAN Autobahn,
one of the last adventures for none woke mankind!
As I am a real Nordic Man, need my river Elbe, the salty winds of North and Baltic Sea, but I can enjoy some days at the mountains too!
Therefore a ride to Switzerland is highly recommended!
Great locations at Lake Biel at Rousseau hotel and restaurant, as well as the following night at Avenches,
some two dozen wine freaks, mostly swiss citizens, but some half dozen Germans too!
Organized and moderated by the swiss wine "pope", Rene Gabriel , a warm and always in a good mood wine friend and "entertainer".
The wine tastings with RG at Switzerland are always held in a very relaxed atmosphere,
this is what a wine nerd like me is searching for, meet the people, have some great days/nights and discussions!

Quite tender showing, meaty, good lively acid still, but clearly over the top,
