Switzerland is nice. The mountains are scenic, the water is pure, and I have good memories of a time in a Swiss meadow fall asleep and wake up surrounded by cows (another story). But when you try to go fast from Italy to Germany, Switzerland is only a problem of the large mountain-filled.
However, I nine hours after leaving Piedmont arrived at the gates of the Maximin Grúnhaus. Germany the largest estates, it is in the Ruwer Valley region (Germany's Mosel wine region from a trio of river valleys is - the Mosel, the Saarland and the Ruwer). Dr. Carl of Schubert's family is Grýnhaus for five generations owned; originally, it belonged to the Abbey of Saint Maximin, and there are written records of the property then back over a thousand years.
The is known for delicate, precise Rieslings, this is true above all in the year 2010. The 2010 Maximin Grýnhaus Abtsberg Cabinet I in the evening (together with 15 other wines tasted) a sublime German was Riesling - fragrant and polished his sweet and acid in perfect balance. It was unexpectedly well with the wild boar stew, seller from New Jersey was the von Schubert for me and the 25 wine randomly on minibus if and only if I did get. (I'm assuming from their point of view, I was the intruder)
"I have to shoot three wild boar per year in the vineyards," said von Schubert, as we ate. "Now it is about 60." "Maybe it has with global warming to do."
"Destroy them the grapes?" I asked.
"they love the sweetest grapes." "But if they penetrate the winery, they risk their life ends, as have other."
