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.
Looks like a cool project. I just ordered my copy! ![[cheers.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/0/0ff9bfcdb0964982cd3240b6159868fbdf215b1a.gif "cheers"){kind=small}
Ordering mine shortly
Insightful forward by David Schildknecht…probably longer than the entire rest of the book. 
Oh it is long and brings a new perspective to the meaning of forward!
And the book is so good it deserves two threads!
That was my fault as I did not see Russell’s thread.
Thanks so much. The book’s foreword is long.
Thanks for the shout-out.
I ordered one but I’m not entirely sure what I’m getting. I would have liked to know a bit more about what the original book consists of - but I guess I’ll find out shortly!
Ordered my copy just now.
Can’t wait for this. Very excited. Lars is super knowledgeable.
Valerie Kathawala published a review of Mosel Wine in Trink.
Hi Lars,
Just wanted to say that this book is excellent - I’ve really been enjoying it. Thank you for all of the great work that you put into this translation!
Thank you Lars! I finished the book last week.
Purchased, looking forward to it
Your feedback on this is much appreciated, Andrew. I’m glad you’re enjoying it. It was a lot of work.
Thanks, Brian!
We chose Per’s copy as the original facsimile, because his has the handwritten note from Koch himself on the title page. The note is as follows: “To Herr Küfermeister Horberth, from whom I so often heard ‘er zappelt,’ dedicated by the author Koch.” I also like the green tint and patina of his cover, despite the underlined note at the top, “In Memory of Grandfather Stefan Horberth.” Per writes about my discovery of this original copy in his intro. In an 1884 address book of Mainz, the name of Koch’s barrel-making colleague was spelled Stephan Horberth. The original book, such as the copy on my bookshelf, has a light-blue cover. By chance, one print run of our book has a bright-green cover—the so-called Mosel green.

I am on my second reading! I had no idea when I visited Max Kilburg the history of Weingut Geierslay. I do recall all of the old pictures.
