June 10, 2011 I was with vantage travel tour. Our tour of the castle and the Moselle Rieslings wine was the best that I have ever tasted. I am from New York, USA. Believe me I will buy your wine and think I was in heaven. We saw the castle from our river boat, how beautiful can this world be. Thank you for a little of heaven.
