The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
On with our series on German wine regions! In this article, we take a closer look at a wine from Franconia – my home-winegrowing region. In this case, I went with a “wild” choice of wine, but believe me this bottle is worth every penny.
To get more structure into my wine posts, I am starting a new series where I write about German wine regions in alphabetical order.
