When we sing the praises of our dearest friends Elaine and Manfred Krankl, we could be accused of being biased because our judgment is all too subjective. Should the love of uncompromising and characterful wines become a criminal offense, we plead guilty. As long as this is not the case, I will never tire of raving to you about these wines that always catch me on the wrong, sentimental foot. With great dedication and expertise, the Krankls press wines at their Sine Qua Non winery year after year that delight us wine lovers when we are happy and refresh our souls when we are tired and shaken by life. Their wines are not to be missed. Sine Qua Non, loosely translated from Latin, means "indispensable" - nomen est omen!
