Where Are The Franconia Wines???...David??

It occurred to me the other day that I see here almost nothing on the wines of Franconia.
Even Buecker doesn't review them. WhyZat?? You almost never see them on the shelves at retail.

Is it because they produce so little Riesling?? Is it because they sometimes/oftentimes come
in those dreadful bocksbeutels that don't fit in your racks (though, that doesn't stop me from buying
a ton of Mateus Rose!!). Is is because people associate Franken Wines w/ GMO grapes? Is it
because the wines are crap?? Is it because so few of them are sweet?

I've had a few Franken wines over the yrs that I thought were pretty nice...though not the profoundness you get
in other German regions.

Help me out here, David!!! Curious minds want to know.

I get to taste them every so often. But, they are very hard to source. One of the people who brings them in (Lyle Fass), won’t let me buy them, as he thinks I will post negative reviews to screw him.

p.s. He also won’t let my local friends buy the wines, in case they pour them for me.

I have one bottle from before the ban. Maybe I will open it soon.
