Subject: RE: Liebfrauenmilch (was: Hi Fellow .. |
| Hi Peter, Your comment is very interesting. On one hand we have an opinion that Liebfrau--milch with an 'en' is good, but without an 'en' is poor. You have corrected the originator of this opinion, and stated that both are high quality. I, for one, had never realised there was a difference is the spelling. Having sampled a 'Liebfrau**milch, (whether of the type with an 'en' in the description I have no idea), and thought it to be worthy of a top mark. Until, that is, I was fortunate to be offered a Riesling of the Mosel-Saar region. In my opinion that wine was of the highest quality, and suited my palate beautifully. However I have since found that these Rieslings are very difficult to find. Obviously the markets I've tried are of the 'bulk' purchase kind, Supermarkets, Named off-licences, etc., so it would seem that either direct buying, or finding a 'Select' wine merchant is the only alternative. This hardly contributes to the wine forum discussion, except to reinforce the opinion of many, that the 'Slightly Dry, Slightly Sweet and nicely Sweet wines, of the Riesling variety, are very well liked by many regular white wine drinkers. (It's a pity there are no Red Wines with the lightness of the 'whites', or are there?) Please, long may the Rieslings continue. Best Regards, Jim Rose. -----Original Message----- From: wineforum_owner@apris.de [mailto:wineforum_owner@apris.de] On Behalf Of Peter Gebler Sent: 02 April 2005 14:39 To: wineforum@wein-plus.com Subject: [wineforum] Re: Liebfrauenmilch (was: Hi Fellow .. Raymond, I would just like to get rid of an inaccuracy that has crept into this otherwise interesting discussion. In fact, Liebfraumilch and Liebfrauenmilch are synonymous, and used interchangeably. Both versions go back the two single vineyard sites in Worms, situated next to the Church of Our Lady (Unsere Liebe Frau) known even today as the "Liebfrauenstift" and the "Liebfrauenstift Kirchenstück ". These are the high-quality wines, examples in the USA will usually be by producer Valckenberg, who own most of the vineyard.
