Nice that you mention someone - that no one in West Europe has ever heard of .... Sad that you oversee the death of one of the most important wine makers in Germany - who, next to that has won a number of Decanter Awards .... Wolf Salwey ...
Sad to say but Decanter has lost its grip - from once the "Best Wine Magazine in the World" to ..... maybe you should write it in Chinese in the future !!!

Excellent choice. We invited Simon to speak at the 1st International Wine Tourism Conference in 2004 in Margaret River. Not only did he speak tremely well, but through his work ethic became one of the working conference team over the week!
