We had Swabian friends over the other day and tucked in into some homemade Käsespätzle w/lentils accompanied by Weinsberg's 1G Riesling. And all was good.
I agree that 2009 is a good vintage for the reds, and taking 2010&2011's assumed sub-par performance for reds into account (if I am informed correctly) , another good reason to start making space in the cellar now. Re Knipser & Huber I vaguely recall reading on your (shared) blog that the Knipser's tend to be playing it too safe and the Huber's being overextracted, that was all. I will be placing my order chez Salwey this week, although I find their pricing policy a little off at times, i.e. my wine merchant offers their wines below Salwey's "official" price
