Gerolsteiner

#1 in my heart.

A naturally carbonated acquired taste (clean, high mineral & stony) that leaves all others in its wake. To be this good and so widely available is a genuine blessing that I am forever grateful to benefit from. Something about the label is also very satisfying to the touch. Satisfying name to say over and over. Added bonus — extremely tolerable at room temp, which when you live in a warmer climate, can come in handy.
