As regular readers of my blog will know, I’ve been to the Mosel to protest against this stupid road bridge and motorway that will plough through some of the world’s best Riesling vineyards. While the international press and bloggers like me have been getting their knickers in a twist about this, Germany’s media has given it little coverage: See my article on decanter.com
The latest from the region is that building work has moved ahead in several places but at last the issue has received some deserved attention from Germany’s equivalent of Panorama: Frontal 21.
The German gourmet magazine Der Feinschmecker has an online petition to help save the valley and vines from the politician’s bulldozers and concrete. The petition closes at the end of the month so sign up. It only takes 30 seconds and how often do you get the opportunity to save a wine region from desecration?
