Subject: Re: Need Info About This Wine |
| Peter, please excuse the little correction, but Gimmeldinger Meerspinne is not a vineyard but a "Großlage" consisting of the vineyards of several villages north of Neustadt. Such wines are not always bad, since some better producers (e.g., Ullrichshof), obviously with several small Parzellen in different vineyards use this Großlagen name for some of their wines. However, I also would not buy without tasting the wine before.
