Caterina Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Did anyone read the article in The Washington Post on Terry Theise German and Austrian Direct Importer the wine pioneer? He has an incredible palete. I found this article very engaging. He is a marvel, a trail blazer. German Rieslings definitely are very underrated and don't get the spot light that they deserve. These wines are versatile and pair well with a variety of food. Amazing he is also a local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodeats Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hi Caterina -- for those who haven't seen it (such as I), can you post a link to the article? Or let me know which section of the paper it was in so I can look for it online? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ol_ironstomach Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Amazing he is also a local. Last summer I was booze shopping in Ft. Collins, Colorado and ran across a shop with a curiously decent range of his selections. At some point, I became aware that the clerks were certain that he was based out there, and even after explaining that his offices were somewhere above Ray's the Classics, I failed to convince them otherwise. Maybe he's got a vacation home there. Or just maybe...he's mastered the skill of being local everywhere :-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just maybe...he's mastered the skill of being local everywhere :-o That is very funny...You think? Mr. Slater introduced me to him once @ Citronelle, in DC (Mr. Slater introduced me to a lot of great wine people, he is a gem, in the wine world, very highly respected) Also, I met up with Mr. Terry again @ Terry Wine Tasting @ Rest. Nora in DC where Mr. Myers was then Rest. Manager and now Sommelier @ CityZen, who also introduced me to Mr. Terry. We have an amazing network of passionate wine contacts in DC. I was fortunate and appreciated the interacton, to meet Mr. Terry in DC. The end of my story goes, I now have at least 33 if not 40 of Terry wines on the list, he obviously left a good impression and left his carbon foot print for German and Austrian Wine with me. I find his wines easy to pair with any food. I am not much of a blogger I don't even watch Tv and I was inspired by his wine from my friends in the industry. I have traveled to Germany Wine Country to check it out for myself, it was an education to say the least. Er ist erstaunlich.... Riesling das ist köstlich!

zoramargolis Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I watched a rerun of a 2003 episode of Chefs Afield on WETA-Create this evening, featuring Odessa Piper. She visited a Jersey cow dairy and artisan cheesemaker near Madison, WI and then she went to a farmers market near her restaurant l'Etoile and prepared a couple of dishes with veg from the market and and the cheese from the cheesemaker.
