In this special episode of 1337 Wine TV, Mark visits one of the largest wine trade shows in the world – ProWein in Düsseldorf, Germany. This is his first visit to the “trade fair” as they call it. He sits down with Hannes Hiller-Jordan of Weingut Jordan during the episode to talk wine also. This is the first of a 3-part series on ProWein.
