In this autobiographic clip Master of Wine (MW) John Downes gives insights in his special relation to the German pinot noir region "Ahr". Furthermore, he explaines how floods destroyed the Ahr valley in the summer of 2021. John Downes then explaines how one can help the winemakers to re-build an infrastructure by donating. A fun way to do so is to take part in this year's "World's Best Vineyards Awards" AUCTION on September 17th to 20th at Schloss Johannisberg, Rheingau, Germany.
