Today we have sensational Rieslings from Germany. And there's a Syrah you'd never expect to find in Germany.
This time, there’s Riesling - ideal for the high temperatures.
We have no great expectations for the bottle of Leroy; the cork is leaking, and the fill level is poor (4.5 cm below the cork). Nevertheless, we open it out of curiosity. And we have a Clos du Val.
Although this is a half-bottle with a low fill level ("low shoulder"), it makes for an impressive tasting experience.
Savennieres versus an unusual dry Quarts de Chaume. As the appellation Quarts de Chaume must be always sweet, the dry one is called Clos des Quarts.
Today, we have the opportunity to taste Bollinger Grande Année alongside the R.D. from the same vintage.
We taste one classic Dunn Howell Mountain, vintage 1996, and a great Spätburgunder from Zehnthof-Luckert
The 2016 vintage is sensational for German Riesling. The wines possess fruit, freshness, depth, and longevity.
Cabernet wines from California are becoming increasingly expensive, while Bordeaux is becoming more affordable again. Consequently, they once again represent a good alternative.
Today we have a sentional Gelber Muskateller and one of the great new wines of Greence.
Today we have Schlossberg from Breuer, Kallstadter Saumagen Riesling Spätlese RR and an old Banyuls.
You have to try it to believe it - the best Spätlesen are sensational, from Egon Müller and Witwe Thanisch. Why drink Chardonnay?
Let's taste a Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Spätlese and a Taurasi Riserva Radici.
Unfortunately, you can't always drink great wines, but sometimes it works out.
This time, there are some excellent wines from Alsace (Zind-Humbrecht), California (Kistler) and the Palatinate (Friedrich Becker).
Here we have 2 interesting wines from Minnesota and two sensational wines from Schramsberg and Dugat-Py.
We are currently on vacation and will be back on January 13th. We wish you a Happy New Year.
This year we tasted 805 wines: We had 3 perfect wines with full points (20/20) and 24 wines that were almost perfect (19.5-19.8/20).
