Yup, that is a lot of money. But the top wines from Burgundy not to mention Bordeaux cost far more. I just found the 2011 EM Scharzhofberger Spät here today for 65€. Keller makes even more expensive Riesling, as does Bürklin-Wolf (80€ for 2011 Forster Kirchenstück GC, probably closer to $200 if you can find it in the US) -and those are dry. I don’t condone those prices AT ALL, but Riesling is at least the equal qualitatively as other varieties and it is nice to see that it is treated as such in some parts of the world…again.
Of course you can easily find the equal to these wines from other producers (or other vineyards from the same producers in some cases) for a fraction of the price.
Cheers,
Bill
