Seeing a wine on a restaurant list for less than the current retail price: that truly is a rare thing. Seing a 1990 Lafite that currently sells at about 800 to 1000 Euro in German online shops at only 560 Euro on the restaurant list? Bingo! Well, I didn’t order it, still a bit out of budget but good to know right? Oh, where it was exactly? A restaurant on the German countryside – won’t tell more than that ;) !

Der 1990er Lafite steht zB bei Unger Weine für stolze 950 Euro auf der Liste, aber in diesem Restaurant gibt es ihn trotz der üblichen Aufschläge für nur 560! Megaschnäppchen! Hab zwar trotzdem nicht zugelangt, aber gut zu wissen, dass es sowas noch gibt.

Werde aber nicht verraten wo’s ist; nicht dass die provinzielle Ruhe durch fernöstliche Lafite-Fanatiker gestört wird (Bei dem Preis lohnt sich fast noch der Flug aus China).

Last weekend we had what we then called a diablog meeting which is supposed to mean a wine-evening with fellow blogger and friend Didier who after a year in Germany is moving back to France. So diablog of course, because I am now blogging about those wines, and I am sure he soon will too he blogged about it as well. For the wine selection, there was no topic, so it was a chaotic mix of styles and types; not senseless though, just chaotic: Reds and Whites, aged and younger ones, French, German and even Swiss, Sweet and Dry. The only idea maybe behind one bottle was an ultimate test of courage for someone who was about to leave Germany: (really) aged Riesling. Otherwise it was more about having a good time. So of course, thanks Didier for having me over and also thanks Mizuki for the delicious Japanese dinner.

Mmmmh! Japanese Chili-Prawns!

Last week it got as good as it can get for a wine geek. Not only did our hosts Eva and Nick cook a delicious dinner, but they also complotted a superb blind tasting of “Southern Rhône Reds” for us. But there was even more to come since after that “official program”, we indulged 2 extra bottles and the surprise effect wasn’t small.
Here are the wines in the order they were tasted. We only uncovered the bottles in the end after our verdicts.

Yes I know, summer is finally there and screams for light wines: whites, rosés and maybe a fruity red, but this nice piece of Charolais simply begged on its knees for a powerful Pauillac.

And it’s true: it would be a shame to serve this Côte de Boeuf, medium-rare, with an unworthy wine.

So I pulled the cork out of a 2004 Château Pontet-Canet. Read the rest of this entry »

When wine geeks think of the Eighties, it’s not only Madonna, Top Gun or Miami Vice coming to their minds, but also the rise of modern winemaking in Bordeaux concurring with such great vintages like ’82 ’85 ’86 or ’89.

Thus, tasting some wines from that decade is always something special and I was thrilled when Oskar invited me to his round of friends when he was once again sacrificing some of his treasuries he had gathered over the years. It hurts him just a little bit, but it is certainly for a great moment of fun. Read the rest of this entry »

Blind Tastings are supposed to be the essence of this website and yet, it happens that none occurs for very long periods of time. Hence I felt somehow relieved when we finally found a date that worked for all of us and the topic was rather secondary at first.
But then Oskar told me he wanted to make it a special tasting and that he’ll take care of the bottles. I could easily live with that, and laid back in awaitance of some decent wines. Read the rest of this entry »
