About Mosel Fine Wines

An Independent Publication since 2008 on Mosel Riesling ... and Beyond!

Mosel Fine Wines is the brainchild of Jean Fisch and David Rayer, two wine lovers with a sweet spot for Mosel and Riesling in general (in particular mature ones) ... among a whole range of other wine interests including Burgundy, Champagne, Piedmont, etc. (the list would be too long to publish completely here!).

In October 2008, they took on the mad idea to launch a publication on Mosel Riesling, capitalizing on the regular visits both were paying to the Mosel anyway (both live near the region).

Both pursue professional careers outside of the wine business which makes their advise completely independent from any commercial considerations: Mosel Fine Wines has no commercial relationship with any Estate, association, or organization.

While the focus is Mosel Riesling, Mosel Fine Wines also regularly includes reports from other parts of Germany or Riesling in general. This includes a comprehensive coverage of dry German Riesling as well as the annual Auction in Bad Kreuznach.

The aim of the publication is to provide wine lovers with the tools and the guidance to understand and enjoy the beauty of Mosel and German Riesling. Mosel Fine Wines Issues therefore cover:

• Detailed timely reports, Estate reviews, and tasting notes on the latest Mosel vintage.
• Comprehensive review of dry German Riesling (GG & equivalent), with up to typically 200 wines recommended.
• Review of Riesling as it matures through in-depth "10-Years-After" retrospective (with often over 100 wines re-tasted) and through Notes from the Cellar ranging back as far as the 1930s.
• Full tasting notes in advance of the annual Auctions held in Trier (by the VDP and the Bernkasteler Ring) and in Bad Kreuznach.
• General background information and news on wines, Estates, vineyards, and the Mosel region in general.

• Guidance and advice on how to best visit and enjoy the region.
