[edit] Riesling Connection?

Wasn't it a Katzenelnbogen who introduced the Riesling grape into Germany? --Fulminouscherub 21:51, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Almost - the first record documenting the existence of Riesling wine at all, i.e. not only in Germany, is from 1435, and it lists the purchase of 6 barrels of Riesling by the Count of Katzenelnbogen from a Rüsselsheim vintner. So, there is a "Riesling connection", but not in the sense that the family introduced the grape. Clossius 19:29, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
