Paul Gieler is one of the great teachers, advisors, specialists and experts in the Ahr region. For me, Paul Gieler embodies the Ahr region like hardly any other wine personality. Enjoy reading!
Alexander Kohnen, founder and owner of the International Wine Institute
The trained winegrower and co-initiator of the “Ahr Wine Discussion Group”, which has been successful for years, presents a cornucopia of Ahr wine knowledge in a “cuvée” of profound expertise and personal experiences relating to Ahr wine, which is sure to amaze even connoisseurs of Ahr wine. Gieler’s historical treatise on viticulture offers a complete history of Ahr wine with perspectives for the future. The author draws on a rich network of winegrowers, scientists, doctors and viticultural technicians. The results of his research combine knowledge with sometimes new, thought-provoking theories in an easy-to-read manner. Original: Gieler’s interview with a grapevine. Conclusion: Highly recommended, richly illustrated reading with rare photographs, not only for wine connoisseurs and those who want to become one. Because: wine from the Ahr valley tastes even better with wine knowledge.
Gerd Weigl – Journalist in the Ahr Valley
Paul Gieler has the advantage of not only having in-depth specialist knowledge, but also of having learned viticulture from the ground up. This combination of practice and knowledge at the cutting edge of research makes the book understandable even for the layman. Paul Gieler lets his readers look deep into his wine glass, a pleasure without remorse.
