One of a Kind Jens is a very informative, kind and talented winemaker. Visiting his winery brought a new perspective when touring an efficient space of ss tanks used for production. Then sitting at the table at his house for wine tasting and chacuterie, while he explained each wine was a great experience. Cheers for many more wines fro Weingut Jens Christmann!
