Direct From Germany

Its official, the jolliest man in Germany is making a trek across the pond to join us for our food and wine festival, Music To Your Mouth. Johaness Leitz of Josef Leitz Winery or as you soon will be calling him, Josi, has agreed to make a special trip to Palmetto Bluff to share his gift for riesling. When you meet Josi, you will instantaneously like him, he is just that guy but when you taste his rieslings you will love him. I am awestruck by the purity of his wines. I want to use the word finesse to describe the wines but that would imply that he dressed them up for the party or fixed them in some way. Instead, I will use the word effortless because these wines seem to be an extension of the man himself, humble, charming and infinitely giving.
