Riesling & Co World Tour 2009, Stockholm, Sweden

On May 27th 2009, the German Wine Institute organised the "Riesling & Co" World Tour tasting in Stockholm. I focused on the "Co" rather than "Riesling" which meant mostly Pinot Noir or Spaetburgunder as it is called in German. Wine from 30 producers was available for tasting.
