Riesling Fellows Switzerland

Max Gerstl wine importer from Switzerland was one of the first Swiss to import German wines. He started in a time where only a very limited number of German wines could be imported to Switzerland. He is still one of the Swiss wine importers and merchants known for German wines. He has a wide selection, especially from Mosel region, his "first love".

Max Gerstl is co-organiser of the WeltWeinFestival, which took place bi-annually in Bad Ragaz/ Switzerland from 1995 until 2011.

Peter Kuhn, wine merchant from Switzerland is known as German wine expert. For years he was managing director of Boucherville and just founded his own wine business again with a selection of German wines.

Peter Kuhn started with German wines at the wine shop Boucherville in the early 1990s. The wine shop and Peter Kuhn has been for many years a fixture in the Swiss wine market. In its product range Boucherville hosted around 500 positions from Germany. In the beginning almost exclusively to sweet wines.

Only since the mid-1990s, the dry Rieslings have taken hold.
