The return in mid-May of Prowein in Dusseldorf – the largest wine fair in the world – allowed me to taste lots of new wines, and meet some new producers. As a result I’ll be posting a notes about a number of wines over the next few weeks. Remember though, that this is about wines which have a back story, not necessarily lovely wines (although some of them are). For this blog it’s the background that is important, rather than aesthetic quality.
