Hi,
I live in Germany and came across (given to me) 3 bottles of a Dr.
Bürklin-Wolf 1997 Pechstein Forst Spätlese Riesling. I drank one
bottle and it was very good. I have been searching the internet for
this wine and some idea of it's value. I have been told that it has
all been sold and is no longer available except at an auction site or
from a private collector.

Does anyone know anything about this wine and what its' approximate
value per bottle might be?

Thanks,
Steve Van Buren

Hard to tell. Bürklin-Wolf is one of the very best in Pfalz, of course and
so is fairly expensive. However, judging from my sources, a bottle of
Spätlese from the average year 1997 should have been at about 15-20Euro,
give or take some. This page:

may give you an idea.

I don't have any specific info, but I don't think there's any great monetary
value to this bottle. As a rule, Pfalz wines are not as sought after as MSR,
for example. This bottles probably retails for $15 in new vintage.
Lower-pradikat German wines (Kabinetts and Spätlesen) tend not to appreciate in
value a lot (dessert wines do, sometimes). And while '97 was a great vintage in
MSR, it was only good in Pfalz. You might could get $20 at auction, but why go
thru the hassle when you like the wine? Enjoy.

Hi.

I don´t know this wine, but recently I proved "Br Burklin-Wolf Gaisbhöl
Rupertsberger 98" in two restaurants in Cataluña (Spain), and the price of
both was between 36 and 40 euros.
The wines was absolutely fantastic. In Spain is possible find this in some
e-stores, and the prices are similar.
I'm realy in love with this wine........
