1999 Hochheimer Stielweg Riesling “Alte Reben” Halbtrocken, Weingut Künstler, Rheingau

IMG_5169

Das Weingut Künstler muss man ja gar nicht mehr vorstellen. Nur soviel sei noch einmal gesagt: Es gehört in Deutschland zu den Pionieren des “neuen” trockenen Rieslings. Aber dies schließt natürlich nicht aus, dass auf dem Weingut hochwertige restsüsse Weine erzeugt werden wie zum Beispiel dieser halbtrockene Riesling vom Hochheimer Stielweg.

Excellent Dinner and Wines in the French Countryside

Not only has the Mayenne region an incredibly beautiful landscape of green pasture and small hills, its people also know what true hospitality is and they make their guests wish they would stay longer.

How lucky did we feel on the first stop of our road trip through Europe when our friend Antoine and his wife Azuka received us with a delicious dinner and lots of good wines. Among those was also a really incredible sweet wine discovery for me. Luckily I didn’t lose the notes I’ve taken that night and am now able to report a bit. But first of all, thank you for the warm welcome and copious dinner.

Lavinia Winestore, Paris

Lavinia has always been one of my favorite winestores in Paris. It’s like a wine epicentre in this city of bons-vivants.

The choice is huge, the selection offers nice surprises and discoveries. And if you’re looking for exclusive Grand Crus, this is definetely the place to go with a jaw-dropping treasure-cellar featuring endless lines of Petrus, Moutons and other VIP’s of the wine world. And after not having been there for 2 years or so, the wine store had a special surprise for me: I couldn’t believe what I was seeing there…

IMG_1352

Im Gasthaus zur Kanne in Deidesheim welches zum Weingut Dr. Bürklin-Wolf gehört, ist die Weinkarte bekannter weise mit unzähligen Preziosen des Guts gespickt. Als wahrer Glücksgriff oder besser gesagt, als wahre Glücks-Empfehlung entpuppte sich der 1999er Forster Pechstein. Um es kurz zu sagen: Ein Weltklasse Weißwein! Dass dieser 10 Jahre alt ist, merkt man ihm kein bisschen an. In der Nase zeigt er Read the rest of this entry »

Domäne Mechtildshausen Dinner

Domäne Mechtildshausen is a farm and restaurant estate not far from Wiesbaden and Mainz. I could resume its essence in a few words: they grow their own organic veggies, they raise their own Charolais beef and other animals, they serve all those fresh ingredients in their restaurant, and last but not least…they have a great wine list in this restaurant with emphasis on red Burgundies, but also lots of nice whites from Rheingau, Rheinhessen and Nahe. I can only recommend this place for its solid cuisine with deliciously fresh ingredients of high quality. But let’s get back to those nice wines. Read the rest of this entry »

Languedoc wines can age well! Bottles from 1998 and 1999

IMG_2013

Last week it was proven again that wines from Languedoc in Southern France have an ability to age. The 1998 Chateau de La Liquière, cuvée Cistus from Faugères had a dense structure with fruit and balance, was superbly mouth-filling and showed a great length. Read the rest of this entry »
