It is hard to find good books, in English, on the Mosel. Lars has been working for 10 years to complete a translation of Karl Heinrich Koch’s 1897 masterpiece Moselwein. My copy just arrived and it is fantastic!
Congrats to board member Lars Carlberg for this outstanding work!
Available now on amazon.
Finally! Our translation of Karl Heinrich Koch’s 1897 masterpiece Moselwein, which has been nearly ten years in the making, has just been published. The English version, Mosel Wine, contains an insightful foreword by David Schildknecht, extensive notes, essays by Kevin Goldberg and Lars Carlberg, a short glossary of the amazingly complicated German vineyard designations, and a copy of the rare 1890 edition of Franz Josef Clotten’s 1868 Saar und Mosel Weinbau-Karte. Included is a facsimile of the complete original Moselwein. The book, written during the heyday of Mosel wine, is now available in either paperback or e-book form. Buy it from Adlibris, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bokus, Book People, IndieBound, McNally Jackson, Powell’s, or wherever books are sold.
