German Rieslings – Favorites of German Wine Bloggers: A Survey by Baccantus

Picture: Christian G.E. Schiller with Stefan Schwytz in Baden, Germany

My fellow German Wine Blogger Stefan Schwytz who runs the popular wine blog Baccantus asked a number of German wine bloggers the question: What are your favorite 3 German Riesling wines (under Euro 12)? Here are the answers. Stefan did not ask me, but I added at the end my 3 favorites. If you are interested in the reasoning of the wine bloggers behind their choice (and if you can read a German text) go to Baccantus for more information. For links to the producers that made it to the list go to Baccantus.
