    Actually the Kabinett, Auslese etc. classification isn’t used for the better German wines. Among those the main focus is on the „Lage“ which is the vineyard itself. You can compare it to the French „Cru“ classification. So you have basic wines (Gutsweine), which don’t come from a specific vineyard. Above those are the village wines (Ortsweine), which come from vineyards all located in one village. Above those come single-vineyard wines (Lagenweine), which can be separated into Erste Lagen (like 1er Cru) and Große Lagen (like Grand Cru). Normally wine labels state if it is a dry or an off-dry/sweet wine.

    Cabernet Franc. Done well in Virginia. Try Pollak vineyards, though there are several other excellent cab francs in Virginia.

    👍👍
    I love the stuff so much, I *made* myself understand the labeling system.
    That said, the $ is getting kinda steep; I've slid over to Finger Lakes Rieslings for a bit of a break! Cheers!

    Maybe, should not hold the glass and shake it so much as you talk. I get distracted and even feel I
    giddy watching this video. But I must say I love the content, it is easy to follow and understand.

    Hey Geordie, with natural wines is cellaring bottles a thing? Does it matter?

      hiaaa, depends on the wine. Many wines benefit from ageing, if a wine is made in an uncomplicated fruit forward style its probably made for immediate drinking.

    these days, climate change hits german wineyards...
    The wines get sweeter..
    For the quality of the wine, theres another thing:
    Tafelwein
    Landwein
    Qualitätswein
    Prädikatswein
    Tafelwein is the stuff youll get in a box here for a euro or two
    Landwein is usually sold in that pricerange too
    Qualitätswein is something around 3-5€ a bottle and 5€+ start the Prädikatswein...
