Well, I haven't had a ton of wines from any one producer or wines over many vintages, but of what I have had, these guys were the best:

Donnhoff
Weil
von Kesselstatt
Kerpen
Spreitzer
Christoffel
Fritz Haag
Reinhold Haart
Karl Erbes
Karlsmuhle
Johannishof
Leitz
Muller-Catoir

- Muller-Catoir
- Gunderloch
- Fritz Haag
- Schloss Schonborn
- Georg Breuer

The results list is quite interesting since there are a number I haven't tryed or heard of. I will have to track some down.

Monchhof
Robert Weil
Fritz Haag
Reinhold Haart
Franz Kunstler

Monchoff
Dr. Loosen
J.J.Prum
Egon Muller
Christoffel

I did not include the wines posted by Rielsingrev because he listed more than 5. Narrow it down to 5 and I will include them.

Drinking a 1997 Zilliken Saarburger Rausch Riesling Auslese right now--really nice.

I'll give everyone a producer that nobody mentioned that is making great wines: Keller. Small production and super high quality. Dee Vine in S.F. is the only place I have ever found thier wines, but Dee Vine is the best source for Germans that I have found on the West Coast. Trust me on this they are worth searching for.

All the best,
Russell Bevan
Bevan Cellars

Keller does indeed have a great reputation but I have never had one. Very hard to find. I saw a TBA for auction on winebid about 6 months ago and almost bid on it.

By the way, is that a vote or just a comment? Both are welcome.

VM

I vote for Keller, Loosen and JJ Prum.

Russell

I would also vote for J.J.Prum, Loosen and Weil.
