Late last week, a ship left the port of Rotterdam with a container of some of Germany’s most prestigious Rieslings from the spectacular Gut Hermannsberg in the Nahe. A founding member of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter), Germany’s highly regarded wine association, Gut Hermannsberg consists of 30 hectares of vines in seven vineyards, all designated Grosse Lage, Germany’s equivalent of Grand Cru.

Eric Asimov of the New York Times has just published a great piece on chilled reds (“How does temperature affect your wine”) and it reminded me how amazed I am about the fact that so many great Restaurants in Manhattan are still serving their top reds at too warm of a temperature now that the Summer is here. On a recent occasion, I had to ask the waiter to chill the bottle of red wine in order to enjoy it at the right temperature. Even if you don’t like to drink chilled red wine,…
