David Williams wrote. I hope Peter Liem of the Wine Shop has been
able to help you. For your information I am currently working on my
website Wines from Germany where we will be offering a selection of
good wines (Riesling, Sylvaner, Graue Burgunder, Schwarzriesling
etc.) graded according to German law (Kabinet, Spätlese, Auslese etc.
I have some contacts in the Mosel and Franken areas and we will also
offer a selection although not at the same time as the website is
published. They will be added as soon as possible.

However to give you an idea about Franken wines which, as you know
are the wines traditionally botted in the flask shaped bottles likely
prices are -
Wiesenbronner Wachhügel Silvaner, Kabinet. Dry. 2003. 7.50 euros.
Würtburger Stein. Feberrebe, Kabinett. Dry. 2002. 7 euros.
Würtzburger Pfaffenberg. Weisser Burgunder (white Burgundy). 2003.
Spätlese dry. 12 euros

Two problems for US citizens though. (1) Freight charges and the
best quotes I can give are 39 euros for up to 10 kilograms and 56
euros for up to 20 kilograms. A case of 12 bottles of wine would
cost 56 euros and a half case of 6, 39 euros. (2) Can you order wine
over the internet. Americans, unlike Europeans, are basically
prohibited as I understand it from doing this as alcohol in the
States is only sold through licenced outlet sources (which does not,
of course, apply to we Europeans). Do you know what the law says in
your state ???
