Promises, promises: Germany's 1994 Rieslings are very good, but don't live up to their advance billing

Article Abstract:

The 1994 Riesling vintage merits an overall 86 on a scale of one to 100. The best wines Rieslings are Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein. A handful of excellent bottles stand out, and tasting notes are provided for these. An alphabetical rating guide is included.

Article Abstract:

Article Abstract:

Germany has produced some excellent wines since 1989, and the wines of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region are selling at prices that defy the recession. A 1989 Fritz Haag Riesling sold for $1,063 a bottle.
