Germany vs Austria Wine comparison

David Wight of Delibo Wines (and David Alexander Wines) will tell us about wines from the German-speaking part of Europe. This will be the fourth occasion on which David has presented to WSWS. Previously he has talked to us on German wine (July 2014), German Riesling and Pinot Noir (January 2019), and Bulgarian wine (May 2024).

David has now retired from the daytime job, but still keeps his hand in with the Wine Yard in Farnham one day a week. David has a loyalty to Germany, having spent years with Walter Siegel, which then became ABS Wine Agencies. It was at Siegel that David's position as flag-bearer for Riesling took shape. "We looked after a clutch of top producers and we created "The Masters of Riesling", our handle for these great growers."

The tasting on Thursday is however not Riesling focused, but hopefully demonstrates the versatility of the two regions. Knowing David, it will be an informative session.
