Fodor's Expert Review Zell

This popular village is full of pubs and wineshops that ply the crowds with Zeller Schwarze Katz, or "Black Cat" wine, a commercially successful product and the focal point of a large wine festival in late June. Some 6 million vines hug the slopes around Zell, making it one of Germany's largest wine-growing communities. The area between Zell and Schweich (near Trier), known as the Middle Mosel, is home to some of the world's finest Riesling.
