I can see that you're more serious than ever about giving German Chardonnay its well-deserved chance. I may need some more time to fully embrace my inner Chard, but there is no doubt that, as they get better and better, a sort of friendship will be struck up. I remember reading about Leiner a few years ago, when he was a dedicated, but somewhat unhappy young winemaker, having just alienated his father's old customers as well as his own friends with his move towards organic winemaking and biodynamics. Good to see him doing so well.
