 In every market that is always some loner who takes a stance in the face of opposition, be it for Portuguese, Bulgarian or even Austrian wines. Djohan Widodo, pictured on the right, has developed a taste for German Riesling and sports, as far as I can see, the best selection in the country, with Egon Müller, Fritz Haag, Helmut Dönnhoff and Klaus-Peter Keller in his portfolio. He soon plans to add Rheingau, Pfalz and Baden to that selection. In the heat and humidity, a chilled Kabinett would certainly be my drink of preference, but the Indonesians prefer the colour red. As most of the hotels and restaurants are almost arctic in their use of air condition, that choice works…until you step out into reality. Comments
