Germany
View wines from specific regions: View popular grape types: |
Viticulture in Germany dates back to the days of the Roman Empire (the first and second century AD), and while German winemakers are not as prolific as those in France, Italy or Spain, the wines they do produce are held in high regard. Germany is known primarily for Riesling, considered by many to be the most noble of white wine grapes. Because of Germany’s cooler climate, most of the wines it produces — and nearly all that it exports — are white wines. Riesling is, of course, the most widely planted grape, followed by Müller-Thurgau, Silvaner and Gewürtztraminer. Red varietals are not completely abandoned, however, and Germany produces some terrific Pinot Noirs, most of which are labeled as Spätburgunder. A majority of German wine comes from its western half, along the valleys of the Rhine River and its tributaries. The top wine regions in the country include Mosel, Rheinhessen and Pfalz. |
Ed Draves
Wine Manager, Prestige Wine & Spirits
I’ve had the privilege of spending my entire adult life (and if you ask any of the managers at Prime Wines, a few years of reckless youth) working for the Premier Group. That time has afforded me the opportunity to visit hundreds of wineries in four different countries, sample thousands of wines and meet countless interesting and wonderful people. I’ve had the opportunity to do a lot of work in the community including countless tastings for Charities, Churches and Masonic Lodges and am even co-chairman of a large tasting in the Southtowns, Wines at the Shrine, to benefit Shriner’s Hospitals for Children. Since that day almost 20 years ago that I strolled into Premier looking for a job to get me through college, I’ve become a husband, father (to 2 great kids), a man and a pretty big fan of the fermented grape.
