Florian Lauer must be one of the loudest freaking tasters, ever. Vacuums the world over would be jealous of this slurping cacophony. Delight in 33 seconds of this performance. Then he says "drinky" and we explain to him that "drinky" isn't a word... though it should be.

Konstantin Weiser and Alexandra Künstler are worshiped by just about every winemaker in the Mosel. Their dedication to old vines and the forgotten steep slopes of the Mosel is simply awe-inspiring. They are beautiful people making magical wines.

The forest ends and you find yourself at the top of one of the Mosel's grandest amphitheaters, the Goldtröpfchen. Our friend hung out the window with his camera and we set it all to Wagner's Flight of the Valkyries for no very good reason at all.

Florian Lauer is a rock star and you just can't deny these wines. So let's just watch three minutes of Florian doing what he does and we'll all be better people for it. Say it: "steep mountain winemakers are heroes."
