Default 02 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese*

Thanks for sharing that Si Beer. From what I've read of him, Johannes
Selbach seems like one of the really 'good guys' out there in the wine
world - doesn't gun for high scoring wines if he feels they're
contrived/artificial, apparently plays a major role in picking out
good up and coming producers in the Mosel (based on Terry Theise's
catalogue) and from what I've heard, went as far as dropping the
prices a little bit on one of his recent vintages for Theise's imports
so the US consumers wouldn't feel the price pinch too much (with the
dollar's decline v. the Euro). Really comes off as a great person -
and his wines all rock.
