自我介绍

Over a century ago, a working mill stood on this property that provided flour for the then-large town of Merl, a bustling village on the Mosel River, known for its great sun-exposed vineyard sites. As the family grew, my great grandfather knew he needed to expand his home. Fortunately, the mill operated on a large parcel of land, separated from town by only a half mile but with enough space for one more house and expansion of the original Dreiherrenmuehle. As the need of house-milled flour declined significantly, the mill sat unused and slowly deteriorated. My father and mother grew to appreciate the charm that these homes had to offer and started to renovate them one by one in the 1990s, restoring them to their original glory. Meanwhile, they had acquired a few of the vineyards on the best plots and began making Riesling. Earlier this year, my wife and I completed renovation on the final house on the property, bringing brand new touches and fixtures while preserving the historic integrity of the home itself. We welcome you to be our guest in our home away from home. Once I was old enough to help out, I spent hours after school and on weekends in the vineyards and helping to fix up the property. After high school, I went on to attend Geisenheim to study Viticulture and Enology and in 2009, I found myself heading abroad to Sonoma Valley, California to learn about winegrowing in a completely different area. My fellow intern – and now wife – was a native Californian and we quickly became more than friends. We spent time working and traveling in several different wine regions all over the world and grew an appreciation of both wine and hospitality in different cultures. We currently reside for the most part in California, but return as often as we can to our home, Mühlental 4. Though, when we’re not here, we love nothing more than for others who share our passions and adventurous curiosity to enjoy our home, gather with friends and family, and experience all that the Mosel has to offer. Who knows, maybe you'll even visit us here in Sonoma, California next!
