Who & Why
Find out who we are and why we do this: About us
This time we have a fascinating Chardonnay from Martinelli. This wine needs a lot of air and gets better and better over several days.
More and more Cabernet Franc is being cultivated in Tuscany. Here is a comparison with Cabernet Franc from the Loire.
With the summer temperatures, you also need a sparkling wine and a rose. So we have a champagne, a Nebbiolo rose and a Cornas.
Today we have some more Barolo 2021 and an amazing Veuve Clicquot Grande Dame from 2008.
Today there are two real favorite wines, a sensational champagne and a great Riesling from the Rheingau.
Today we have a champagne from Marguet, an exotic white wine from the Teutoburger Wald, a mature Caymus Special Selection and a young Rauzan-Segla.
We have already experienced many disappointments from Burgundy. So it's all the nicer now to have a clearly great Burgundy in our glass again. Unfortunately, the price is again very high.
This time we taste the Barolo 2021 from Damilano and a champagne from the Aube.
This time there is a port wine from the great Californian vintage 1974.
This time we have champagne, Chateauneuf du Pape, Riesling from Rheinhessen and a Barbaresco.
This time there is a white wine from Egypt, a Californian Chardonnay and a rare Barolo.
This time we have a beautiful Spätlese from Günther Jauch's winery, one of the best wineries on the Saar.
Charles Heidsieck is one of our favorite champagne houses. It doesn't always have to be the Blanc des Millenaires.
Spätburgunder vs. Pinot Noir: Krone 2008 Assmannshäuser Höllenberg Spätburgunder and Morlet 2019 Côteaux Nobles (Fort Ross Seaview, Sonoma County Pinot Noir).
Today we have sensational Riesling from Germany - perhaps the best white grape variety of all.
German Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) has become better and better in recent years and is an alternative to Burgundy in terms of quality and price anyway. But the German white wines from Burgundy varieties (Pinot Blanc = Weissburgunder, Pinot Gris = Grauburgunder, Chardonnay) are now also fantastic.
Salwey is one of the best German wineries for these Burgundy varieties. We were delighted to be able to buy a collection box (this also contains a Grauburgunder rated at 100 points) and enriched the tasting with “Sieben Winter” and 2016 Eichberg Spätburgunder.
As always, all wines are tasted blind. Afterwards there are two pirates, also blind.
Here we have a sensational degustation with Ramey 2009, Vina Tondonia Gran Reserva Blanco and Domaine de Thalabert.
Today we have a Champagne, a Syrah from California and a white wine from Lake Constance (Bodensee).
We start with two Rieslings from Keller and then have perhaps the best red wine in Austria in our glass. Is it really that good?
There is Château Martinet 1982, a small winery in Bordeaux, and Dönnhoff Hermannshöhle 2015.
Today there is Riesling from the Rheingau, Rheinhessen and Alsace. Of all the great white wines, Riesling still has the best price-performance ratio.
We haven't had a Dunn Howell Mountain for a while, now it's time again. And there's a Riesling from Dreissigacker that, like the Unico Especial, was composed from several vintages.
There is Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from California. In terms of quality, you can do without Burgundy.
This time we have a young Cornas and two mature wines from Bergerac and Margeret River.
2015 was a Barolo vintage with a lot of potential, but also closed at the beginning. How did it develop? The 2015 Barolo Aeroplanservaj is an archetypal representative of this vintage.
Unfortunately, the Longevenings had to be canceled in the new year due to illness. But now we're back at it again, with Chardonnay from Piedmont and a red Burgundy.
We are currently on vacation and will be back on January 7th. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
This year we tasted 807 wines, not only at the auction house, but also at organized wine tastings and on the fantastic Champagne trip organized by Armin Diel.
We had 4 perfect wines with full points (20/20) and 21 wines that were almost perfect (19.5-19.8/20).
Gaja Sperss 1997, Gaja Sperss 1998 and Jonata 2010 La Sangre de Jonata - it's an exhausting tasting when the wines are all so good you don't want to spit them.
This time we have Kongsgaard 2016 Fimasaurus (Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot) and Schnaitmann 2015 Sauvignon Blanc Reserve.
Riesling is one of the best wines in the world, and we want to prove it. And as always, we have a champagne to celebrate the opening.
Today we have an excellent rose champagne as well as two great Barolos - one traditional and one modern.
This is the first vintage of a cuvee with Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc.
