Who & Why
Find out who we are and why we do this: About us
Today we have Schlossberg from Breuer, Kallstadter Saumagen Riesling Spätlese RR and an old Banyuls.
This time, there are some excellent wines from Alsace (Zind-Humbrecht), California (Kistler) and the Palatinate (Friedrich Becker).
Let's try two high-end Pinot Noir from Armand Rousseau and Friedrich Becker.
Sauvignon Blanc from Germany is getting better and better. Let's taste the winners of the "Falstaff Sauvignon Blanc Trophy 2025".
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.
This time there is a current vintage from Schnaitmann and a mature sweet wine from the visionary Bernhard Philippi.
There are Feudi di San Gregorio Ariella, F.X. Pichler Kellerberg and Friedrich Becker Kammerberg.
After two beautiful sparkling wines, we turn our attention to Chardonnay from Germany, together with a pirate.
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.
Sauvignon Blanc from Von Winning and Silvaner from Klaus Keller.
It is boring to always drink only German wines with the top grape varieties Riesling and Pinot Noir. Therefore, this time we have Silvaner and Weissburgunder (=Pinot Blanc).
This time we have wines from the Rhone, Tuscany, Palatinate and Würtemberg.
We just returned from a fantastic wine trip from Bordeaux, organized by Armin Diel (www.armindiel.com). Therefore, we have immediately tasted a wine from the travel program, Château Canon-La-Gaffeliere. And also Chardonnays from Bernhard Koch, which are among the top German Chardonnays. Weingut Bernhard Koch from the Palatinate is not so well known, but makes sensational Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, which belong to the top of Germany and are also very durable.
Two of the best sparklings from Germany and a truly great Pinot Noir - also from Germany.
Garage de Papa is perhaps the best wine from Israel at the moment. Bernhard Koch makes fantastic Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the Palatinate, but is not yet as well known despite the high quality.
Actually, the 2021 Riesling vintage is still far too young, but a potential rating can already be given.
The wine of the evening was the 1967 Monte Real Blanco Reserva Semidulce, but we also had a great Champagne and three great reds.
We deal with a great Riesling and two red wines that, tasted blind, taste like the Northern Rhone.
Here we have a Duval-Leroy Champagne, a Viognier from Germany, a Klaus Keller Riesling, two old Masi Amarone and a mature Tignanello.
