Lars: Sounds like a fun event. I will look forward to your report, assuming you are going.
As an aside, it’s quite interesting to see Château Pauqué on the list of producers Château Pauqué was one of several names that I hadn’t heard of before, but the ‘Château’ portion of their name made me curious, and I had to learn more about them. Turns out, they are actually on the Moselle Luxembourgeoise. I think it’s great that they’re involved in Mythos; as much as I enjoy the tradition and history of German wine, Château Pauqué has an opportunity to challenge attendees’ preconceived notions of what Mosel wine is and is not. (Would love to try their wines by the way, if the opportunity ever comes along.)
Also, I was not aware that there was “another” Zilliken out there.
Andrew: I missed last year’s event, as I had a stomach ailment and lost some weight. Now, I feel much better and even put on some extra pounds on my recent visit to Central Texas, where I ate plenty of Tex-Mex and drank lots of Dos Equis. I like this Mexican lager more than Modelo.
If I decide to go to Mythos Mosel this year, I’ll only make a few stops. Like Saar Riesling Sommer, there are just too many producers and wines. Though I like that such events exist for the general public to taste wines at the different estates.
As for Château Pauqué, see my comment on “A Brief History of the Wines of the Upper Mosel.” I also mention some other Luxembourg producers, such as Alice Hartmann. Speaking of the Upper Mosel, Stephan Steinmetz will be pouring his wines at Mythos Mosel as well.
Hellershof-Zilliken is another Upper Mosel producer whose wines I first tasted in the early nineties. The estate is in Nittel, along with several other producers, like Apel.
This is very tempting. I could fit a lot in for one weekend.
Yes, that’s true.
