Schiller Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:03:54 +0000 http://www.dontfearthegrape.com/?p=326#comment-20 I enjoyed your podcast very much. Was very entertaining. I am not sure you are fully aware of the complicated links in German wine making between sugar in the grape at harvest and alcohol + sweetness in the finished wine as well as of the role of adding sugar to the must and sterilized juice (Suessreserve) to the finished wine in Germany. Find more here http://schiller-wine.blogspot.com/2010/01/german-wine-basics-sugar-in-grape.html Finally, Dr.L is a great wine, but completely unknown in Germany, only made for export to the US. Here it is hugely popular. See more here. http://schiller-wine.blogspot.com/2010/01/germanys-top-wines-ratings-of-wine.html Cheers. Christian C.G. Schiller I enjoyed your podcast very much.
