Rhineland Wines

Anyone know about the "Frauliebemilch" white wine from the Rhine region of Germany?

It is a very good everyday white wine that I enjoy immensley after work when I can sit down and unwind. Anyone else know of this delicious wine?

You are right, of course. Had to check my references - there was a Liebfrauenkirche in Mainz, destroyed by fire in the 18th century and presently incorporated in the cathedral there if I've understood it right. But the name of this wine indeed originated at the Liebfrauenstift of Worms and was on record in 1744 as the 'famous Lieben Frauen Milch of Worms'. The wines of today's trading name bear no resemblance to this fame, of course - but there are drinkable Liebfraumilchs around, the likes of 'Blue Nun', for instance. A few bucks more may buy you better wines, however. Anders
