Rieslings From Germany Scale the Heights

Germany

By: ERIC ASIMOV

"The drawbacks of German rieslings are all too well known. The labels are indecipherable, the nomenclature is confusing, and the language, for non-German speakers, is difficult to translate. All true, yet ultimately irrelevant. Burgundy is awfully confusing as well, yet because the wines are worth the effort, people eventually figure it out. Believe me, German rieslings are worth the effort, too."
