Trier ~ wine tasting session ~

I followed my wine teacher to tasting Riesling wine in Trier where is the oldest city in Germany and lies along the river of Mosel ( http://www.trier-info.de/english/index ).  We can see Roman Monuments, Cathedral of St. Peter and Church of Our Lady there, and those architectures are also a designated World Heritage site. 




That wine tasting session was held by VDP ( http://www.vdp.de/en/vdp-praedikat-wine-estates/ ) .  Thirty wineries presented new vintages of Riesling Wine and  old vintages for auction.  I have never tasted such kinds of Riesling wines, so I was so excited to do it.  However, the character of Riesling has wide ranges from Kabinett to Eiswein, so I have to care to choice which wines we should have first.  Actually, it is difficult for me to understand German wine regulation because it is so complicated.  Although I could not taste all, my favorite wines were Weingut Joh. Jos. Prum ( http://www.pruemwein.de/html/j_j__prum.html ) which was clear acidity and mild, Weingut Egon Muller-Scharzhof und Le Gallais ( http://www.scharzhof.de/ ) which was balanced well, and weingut Fritz Haag ( http://www.weingut-fritz-haag.de/ ).  I may have images of vineyards name a little...

Thank you for your reading to the end.
