I remember discussing this on the board a few years ago but could not find it, Therefore, I thought I would resurrect the topic. I am interested in board members opinions on their top 5 favorite German wineries.
Here are my top 5 (in no particular order): JJ Prum Helmut Donnhoff Robert Weil Willi Schaefer Josef Leitz Thanks in advance for sharing. VM |

We are relatively new on German wines.
So far, J.J. Prum and Meulenhof. |

I have just started in my Riesling quest so I anxious to see others lists. The best I have had so far:
Gunderloch Jos. Jos. Prum Peter Jacob Kuhn Franz Kunsler Robert Weil |

J. J. Prum
Gunderloch Studert-Prum Zilliken Jury Still out: Donnhoff Weil Leitz Schaefer Jury is out on some of the above because I've only had examples from the 2003 vintage, and as a whole, I don't care for the vintage. I would like to taste these producers more before deciding if I like them or not. |

My top 5, also in no particular order...
JJ Prum Selbach-Oster Meulenhof Donnhoff Christoffel In fairness I still have bottles of Leitz and Gunderloch that I haven't tried yet. Maybe it's time to open them, perhaps at an offline. |

My all time best white ever was a Georg Breuer Spatlese Berg Schlossberg 1996, so he's on top with J.J.Prum.
Georg Breuer is really hard to find though  |

No!
 Are there really only 12 people on this site who drink enough German wines to have favorites? a "What contemptible scoundrel stole the cork from my lunch?" -- W.C. Fields |

Maybe that is why an excellent wine like the 2001 Muelenhof Auselese only costs around $20.

JJ Prum is my favourite, others I like but haven't had much of are Gunderloch & Reichsgraaf von Kesselstaat.

Gymnasium Georg Breuer- 1 Christoffel-Berres- 1 Schloss Vollrads- 1 Kesselstaat- 1 Schloss Johannisberger- 1 VM |

Vino -
i've tried Schaefer before, though only two different bottles. one was a 'dry' Riesling that was very good... i just don't drink enough German wine to have a favorite, i'm still learning... |

I don't have much experience with German wines, but I have yet to be disappointed with Robert Weil. I've tasted only three different wines by Donnhoff, but they all were quite tasty!

I spent the whole weekend trying to think of five but could only come up with one - Giorgio Moroder (as long as you ignore the Money B stuff). Then I read the details and am slightly embarrassed. Please ignore this reply.
