Taste German Pinot Noir in the Ahr

What a grape day sounds like

Germany’s Ahr Valley is a unique hidden valley close to Cologne full of steep slopes containing Spätburgunder ...aka..German Pinot Noir! And unless you're a hardcore Pinot prince or princess you may not have ever heard of the Ahr Valley.   Maybe it’s because the Germans don’t want to share and drink it all themselves , or maybe it’s because Burgundy doesn’t like the competition.  Either way, if you love Pinot Noir or just love discovering & collecting wines that you can show-off to your wine geek friends…then the Ahr River Valley is must wine region for you.   Fun Fact!
