Who & Why
Find out who we are and why we do this: About us
We have a very rare wine from the Montmartre vineyard in Paris and a sensational Barolo Cerequio 2016.
There is a Riesling and a Cabernet, none of them tastes like its grape variety.
This time: A sparkling wine from Ferrari and a great Canon La Gaffeliere.
Here we have two bottles with Cabernet Franc, one is a blend with Shiraz and one is pure.
This time there are three interesting wines from different regions.
We have a Palo Cortado Solera from M. Antonio de la Riva. This sherry proves once again that sherry is one of the most affordable high-end wines and is always great value for money.
The Dürnsteiner Kellerberg is an archetypal Grüner Veltliner of the upper class.
One of the best vineyards for Spätburgunder in Germany is often overlooked: The Fellbacher Lämmler. In addition to sensational Lemberger, great Spätburgunder are also produced here. We taste 3 different producers.
Is the cult Riesling Clos Ste Hune really that good? Does a 100-year-old dry white wine from Rioja that has not been fortified still taste good?
This time we have a pineapple sparkling wine from Tahiti, produced according to the metode champenoise, and a Chardonnay from Morlet.
Moscato d'Asti doesn't hold up? Merlot only produces simple, fruity wines? It's time to put an end to these prejudices.
After two beautiful sparkling wines, we turn our attention to Chardonnay from Germany, together with a pirate.
This year we tasted 801 wines, not only at the auction house, but also at organized wine tastings and on the fantastic Bordeaux trip organized by Armin Diel.
We had 10 perfect wines with full points (20/20) and 28 wines that were almost perfect (19.5-19.8/20). This high percentage is explained by our selection.
This time we have two Barolo from Conterno-Fantino from the 2019 vintage and as a reference the Sandrone 2019 Barolo Le Vigne.
Friedrich Becker's top wines are very expensive (for a German red wine) and difficult to obtain. After the sensational 2018 Pinot Noir Heydenreich and a recommendation from a friend for 2019 Pinot Noir Heydenreich and 2019 Pinot Noir La Belle Vue, we took advantage of a rare opportunity and bought all three top wines.
We taste Barolo 2019 from Sandrone and Altare, Gattinara from Nervi and a Pinot Noir from Friedrich Becker.
This time there are Burgundy Grand Cru - Clos Vougeot and Charmes Chambertin.
1997 was a great vintage, but also a hot one. Not all Nebbiolo have held up well.
We have from Juris 2007 Pinot Noir different vineyards and a 2016 Barolo Cannubi.
Certainly, there are more great Blaufränkisch in Austria than in Würtemberg, where the grape variety is called Lemberger. But there are more and more. In previous vintages, Schnaitmann's Fellbacher Lämmler was almost always the best Lemberger, but the other winemakers have caught up. Compared to top Spätburgunder from Germany, Lembergers are still a bargain for the quality.
There is a Brunello Cerretalto and Barolo from the great 2016 and 2019 vintages. The new Barolo vintages have such perfect tannins that they can be drunk with pleasure even young.
Besides Saffredi, we have top Riesling from Peter-Jakob Kühn and Robert Weil.
Today we taste a Belle Epoque as well as Nebbiolo from the 2019 vintage.
After the vacation, we return to old habits and taste great wines.
