Thanks, Dot - comments like this one really make it worth spending the time to write things up for the Wine Rambler. I'd be delighted to treat you to the risotto when you next come to London, and I will aim not to drink up all my Silvaner (or get new wine in).
With regards to finding the Feuervogel in the USA I am not so sure. On the one hand Keller has an awesome reputation and there will be several merchants in the US carrying his wine (for instance http://www.winebid.com/). This particular Silvaner may be harder to track down though. It may not be too easy to find German Silvaner at all - I'd just go an try some others, if you can find them, there are many good producers (such as Wittmann, Wirsching or Juliusspital) and a Kabinett Silvaner should be good value too.
