| Being in a hurry this afternoon is, I admit, no excuse for this stupid error. You are quite right that Schwarzriesling is a a mutation of Pinot Noir and is Pinot Meunier to the French. I was, of course, thinking of Spätburgunder which is the equivalent of Pinot Noir. Spätburgunder can be a surprisingly good wine and a local wine, a 2002 Marbacher Neckarhälde Kabinett - grown by the way on some of the Neckar river terraces which are almost at the bottom of our garden - impressed us enough that we bought half a dozen (in a local supermarket) to lay down. I'm rather curious to see what it's like after a few years. I agree with you that where white wines are concerned Rieslings have deservedly made Germany's reputation in the wine world But I don't underrate Kerner which is often a surprise for those who have never tried it.

Agree, you can easily find good everyday wine at reasonable prices here, but if you want something great, it is more likely to be found in bottles containing riesling. And just for the sake of good order, Schwarzriesling is not the same as Pinot Noir, but the same as pinot Meunier, which is again is a mutation of Pinot Noir. Also used in Champagne as the base grape (approx. 50% of the champagne appellation is covered by PM. See also under "Schwarzriesling" in the glossary ("Wein-Glossar").
