That includes some great regions. Germany makes some of the world's greatest wines, as we all know, and so does Austria, as many of us don't know. Hungary's Tokaji wines are making a big comeback to the first rank since 1992. Greece is doing increasingly interesting things and Switzerland has some outstanding hillside vineyards that give wines too few Americans ever try.
Stocks here vary.
We always have a solid assortment of Mosels but rarely Nahes, to consider German examples, and in Austria we load up in the spring and the fall and the wines tend to disappear quickly soon after they arrive. In Germany we work mainly with finesse-focused rieslings, most often with at least a little harmonious sweetness. Sometimes we venture into dry and very sweet, but our selection centers on the middle range. We like Mosels for their delicacy and slate-stony characters, and focus on those because they're not like anything else. When we venture into the Pfalz and other Rhine areas, we're looking for relatively big, aromatic wines and we get them at houses like Biffar, B rklin-Wolf, and Catoir.
