L.A. Jordan
This is a Pfalz list first and foremost, built around the great estates of Deidesheim and the surrounding villages, with Reichsrat von Buhl, Geheimer Rat Dr. von Bassermann Jordan, Weingut von Winning, and Bürklin Wolf each carrying deep verticals, so Riesling is the spine of the 217 bottles and whites outnumber reds two to one. Depth is real on home turf, with Rebholz and Knipser rounding out the local roster, and there is a serious large format selection if a table wants to make an occasion of it. Beyond the Pfalz it stays focused rather than sprawling, with a small Champagne section and a tight Piedmont reds run for the Italian drinker. The glass program is generous for a two star house at twenty pours, which lets you guide guests through regional Riesling without committing them to a bottle. This rewards anyone who wants to drink German, especially Pfalz Riesling across producers and ripeness levels, and it is the natural place to lean when pairing through the kitchen.
