The cellars of the Mosel Wine Museum in Bernkastle-Kues treat you to more than just historical facts. Handed a glass, a three-page list of 140 wines, and a pencil, I took my job in good spirits. Overwhelmed, I asked for the sweetest wines which narrowed down my task a little. The numbered list corresponds to the descriptions of each wine and winemaker posted on the wall and to the open bottles in the wine coolers for tasting. I made a lot of pour decisions. The more I tasted the more I realized why some labels included braille (low light in the cellars and all). Other than that I can’t remember a thing except I wished you were all there to enjoy it with me! Note to self: my favorites were Spatlese (late harvest) Riesling wines with a low alcohol content of 7.5%. I think. I might have to go back.
