The 2024 Annual Meeting of the Weinfreundeskreis Hochheim, a Wine Brotherhood in the famous wine village Hochheim, Rheingau, Germany, took place on February 16, 2024. This year, Annette Schiller and I were able to participate.

The Weinfreundeskreis Hochheim was founded 45 years ago by 7 wine enthusiasts, including Franz Kuenstler, the founder of #worldclass producer Weingut Künstler, Holger Krimmel, long-time President of the wine brotherhood and Annette Schiller of Ombiasy Public Relations and Wine Tours.

Current President Jürgen Lüttges was re-elected for another term.

Christian Schiller has been a member of the group right from the beginning in 1979.
