A wee BloodyPulpit:

  1. Robert&Herta made arrangements for us to meet Fritz Salomon at his wnry in Kirchberg. Clearly very passionate
    about his work and use of biodynamic. I bought this GV and we shared this at their home the next afternoon.
    Robert is good friends w/ a guy (Manfred Drosg) who worked at LosAlamos for a number of yrs afore returning
    to Wien. He brought along his daughter, who went to school and graduated from LosAlamos HS. Turns out,
    we had a lot of mutual friends and Manfred enjoyed the afternoon catching up on LosAlamos.
    The Riesling was the second wine I bought there. Tasted a week later at the Atticus Hostel in Ljubljana.
