I find some interesting parallels in the move away from any sweetness within wine in Germany to the move away from some of the traditional brewing styles, Märzen and Dunkel come to mind, and towards what are bigger (and yes drier) international players, Pilsner in particular.
In any case it's all about balance isn't it?

I don't pretend to be knowledgeable about beer, but aren't most Oktoberfests Märzens? Interesting that style is declining in Germany, when so many American craft brewers are making an Oktoberfest these days.

You are not familiar with David Schildknecht, are you?
Believe me when I say that he knows everything you mention, and it is only his being (for him) brief that prevented a 10,000 dissertation. David one wrote an 8 page "letter to the editor" of The World of Fine Wine to rebut a 3 page article.

I'm new to German wines and want to see if I can differentiate between the three regions and the Prädikatswein classification. Should I go by region and then Prädikatswein or drink the Kabinett's from each region, the Spatlese from each region, etc.
Thanks

Ah... the dream. My friend, Don DeMaison, is about to open his winery, Long Cliff, on the Niagara Escarpment. His labels were just approved by the gov't and he will open his doors as soon as he gets the labels back from the printer - probably next week. I will be helping out there. At my urging, he did a whole cluster press of Pinot Noir and will be turning a portion of that into a Blanc des Noir.Joe Moryl wrote:...The winemaker recently morphed from a serious amateur to a commercial producer (attn.
