second Twitter Wine Awards
The time was more than ripe. The very first event was terrific and so for me there was no doubt that the second Twitter Wine Awards, taking place this time in Klüsserath on the Moselle, a compulsory course will be for me. The number of participants, and the Rieslings employed has almost doubled. The event was held under the auspices of the German Wine Institute .
For example, on the weekend about 25 wine enthusiasts, from Bavaria to Hamburg Check the path to contemplative Klüsserath. There we expected a battery of 140 Rieslings, which we have tasted over the course of Saturday afternoon, highly concentrated.
Not everyone knew how to flatter my wine palate, but a considerable number of good Rieslings knew convincing and made the tasting a wonderful experience. As with the first edition but the results were surprisingly uniform and good Wines were quickly located and rightly awarded with MjammMjamm. After several hours the last tasters had fulfilled its task and the evaluation of the wines has produced the following winners.
