Adolf Störzel
We visited the wine cellars of the above named vintner in August, 2002. We tasted some lovely german wines with a view to buying, although there was no obligaton to buy. Herr Störzel was very knowledgeable about the history of his wines, which had been a family concern for a number of decades. He spoke very good english and had a keen sense of humour to make the visit very enjoyable. I could certainly recommend this cellar as an excellent place to taste the local wines.
