At the weekend we had dinner with some friends who served some very good wine from 67273 Herxheim am Berg - where's that? In the Pfalz. Go west across the Rhine on a line about the level of Mannheim and you will come to the German Weinstrasse. This winds its way due south through many picturesque wine villages and crosses into Alsace where it becomes, obviously, La Route de Vin that continues on to Strasburg.
The wine we drank was a dry Riesling from Weingut Petri. The Petri's have a splendid array of award winning wines i.e. many have silver or gold medals. You can usually not go wrong if you select a wine with a medal.
The prices are very good too - a litre bottle of 2006 Riesling Feinherb costs just Eur 4,20.
