WOW'S take on German wines

[wondersofwine]

Actually, Mark, I was going to ask you if mid-January would be too soon for another Samos offline? I plan to be in DC the weekend of January 13-14 and might extend another day if I can get the 16th off from work. Samos isn't open on Sundays so it would work best for me to plan on going there Monday, January 15 which is Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday. Keep that in mind as a possible offline date and maybe we can line up Drew and Eileen also.
Thanks for your comments on the German wine notes. I will hold off a bit on the follow-up except to mention four names (I started with two and it keeps growing)--Darting and Muller-Catoir (associated with Pfalz wines) and Donnhoff (associated with Nahe wines) and Gunderloch (associated with Rheinhessen district). If you come across those while doing homework, you may want to take some home. Also, a look at thewinedoctor.com/germany site reminded me about Dr. Burklin Wolf. I have only had one or two wines from this producer but they were very good. This is another Pfalz producer. I was pleased to see that the names of producers I included for Mosel-Saar-Ruwer and Rheingau duplicated many that the wine doctor has profiled but not all of them so you may want to check out that website too.
