Adriana Zazueta Cousté: When studying with the CMS, and started to appreciate the high quality wines that Germany produced.

VDP: What is your favourite story to tell about German/VDP.wine – did you have highly emotional experience with our wines / producers?  

Adriana Zazueta Cousté: So many great producers in Germany! It was a memorable day for me when visiting Egon Müller’s winery, and having a stunning Riesling tasting.

VDP: How many bottles of German wine/VDP.wines do you have in your cellar? 

Adriana Zazueta Cousté: Not as many as I would love to have.  Difficult to resist the temptation of drinking them.

VDP: What is your favourite vineyard in Germany – and why?     

Adriana Zazueta Cousté: Scharzhofberger,  tasting its sublime wines in front of the vineyard, a beautiful view experiencing the terroir in a glass.

VDP: If it comes to German grape varieties, what is your favourite? Riesling, Spätburgunder or other?

Adriana Zazueta Cousté: Impossible to choose only one variety,  Riesling and Spätburgunder are my favorites, though  Sylvaner has surprised me.
