Howard Ripley's German 2017s

To complement Michael's reports on his tastings in Germany – see this guide to our coverage of the small, frost-reduced but high-quality German 2017 vintage – here is a collection of 69 wines tasted in London earlier this month, mostly Rieslings, and currently being offered en primeur by Howard Ripley, a UK specialist importer of wines from Germany and Burgundy. The wines are available in many European countries but, according to Howard Ripley's Sebastian Thomas, wines such as these are not offered en primeur in the US. So you may have to wait for them to land.
