Today there are two real favorite wines, a sensational champagne and a great Riesling from the Rheingau.
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.
Today there is Riesling from the Rheingau, Rheinhessen and Alsace. Of all the great white wines, Riesling still has the best price-performance ratio.
1971 was a great vintage for sweet Riesling wines in Germany. The Staatsweingüter produced sensational wines until the 1970s, especially in the great vintages of 1971, 1975 and 1976.
Besides Saffredi, we have top Riesling from Peter-Jakob Kühn and Robert Weil.
Two of the best sparklings from Germany and a truly great Pinot Noir - also from Germany.
We have two 1964 wines, a Barolo and a Bordeaux, as well as the 1994 Orion Old Vines and a fantastic sweet wine experience.
Today we have Rheinhessen and Rheingau - Klaus Keller with his best white-labeled Riesling and Weingut Krone with two excellent Pinot Noir.
This time the evening brought a surprisingly fresh Assyrtiko, a large Gräfenberg and sensational Californians.
Three old fine wine - 1949 Clos Vougeot, 1959 Rauenthaler Gehrn Riesling TBA, 1971 Bensheimer Streichling Riesling TBA - were donated by a friend.
Some German producers are now so good that they are a real alternative for Burgundy.
This time: One of the best German sparklings, two amazing Rieslings, something from a new winery at the Loire and Lopez de Heredia in 3 variants.
Four Rieslings from Nahe, Mosel and Rheingau plus Monte Bello Chardonnay resulted in a nice evening. Life is good!
2011 is a forgotten year for German Riesling. It is neither an exceptional nor a bad vintage and so it is not remembered well. Let's see how the vintage really is.
High-end Cava, long on the lees, from Recaredo against other bubbles from Champagne and Germany.
It all started when we had a monkfish for dinner and wanted to have a perfect match. So we just wanted to have a good Riesling as accompaniment and opened some bottles. Finally we had a extensive Riesling tasting with 8 Riesling and one pirate.
A Bienvenues Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru and two Rieslings made our evening. In total it were three great wines.
1921, 1959, 1971 and 1976 are the great vintages for German Riesling. And 1975 - ofter forgotten but equal in quality. Here we have "Staatsweingüter Eltville / Kloster Eberbach" which is very famous for its old vintages from 40s to 70s.
Georg Breuer's Riesling Schlossberg reaches higher and higher prices in auctions. Why?
