Autumn in the Rheinhessen

03-06-Sep-09 - Things are getting a bit out of order at the moment thanks to pressure of work, so yet again the rest of the June trip to Catalunya has been delayed but it WILL appear in due course. In the meantime, going back before Sally and Wig's wedding I was lucky enough to go on a trip to the Rheinhessen, courtesy of the local generic body. I wasn't able to write about it before as elements of it were due to be published in YES CHEF! Magazine as well as CIRCLE UPDATE but time has moved on and the .pdf is now on file. It involves visits and tastings, particularly of Silvaner and Pinot Noir wines from the Rheinhessen - two grapes not really rated as recently as 10 years ago but now pulling their weight with a vengeance. Anyway, to read the full story, please click here. The 'Wine Supplement' mentioned in the text refers to John Radford's WineWire, for which see the following post.
