In case you had not had enough of German politics, why not follow our (soon to be?) Foreign Secretary Westerwave, ah, -welle, on Twitter? http://twitter.com/westerwave/ Having said that, we can probably not expect to hear very much wine talk there.
But then who knows? Westerwelle was born in Bad Honnef within spitting distance of the Rhine. There are a few well respected wineries within cycle distance, one among them that may very well have inspired the young Guido: Weingut Adeneuer. If the German uber-chancellor Adenauer was a role model for young Guido I am not sure, but I wonder if there are more wineries that could re reviewed from a political point of view. After all, Adeneuer seem to focus almost exclusively on red wine... A secret message? I don't know and I never had one of their wines. Their Pinot Noirs got some excellent reviews, for instance the 2007 Walporzheimer Gärkammer (I will resist the urge for a bad pun here).
Anyway, it seems yet again I missed an interesting wine from my home state of
Baden-Württemberg!
