VDP Wine Fair – The 2007 Blast!

Posted on April 30, 2008 by Blindtaster

nice weather outside, fabulous wines inside…

On Sunday I was lucky to attend the VDP Weinbörse in Mainz, a wine fair, where many of Germany’s top winemakers presented their collections of the 2007 vintage.

The summer wasn’t too hot and rather dull, but then in autumn, nice weather held on throughout the harvest season permitting the grapes to ripe out comfortably.

The pros’ say that this situation where the grapes have a lot of time to ripen is much better than a burning hot summer where the grapes ripe faster and might yield higher must-weights, but do not reach the right physiological ripeness due to water stress of the vines. Continue reading →

1995 Gallo Estate Cabernet, North Sonoma

Impressions of Chow Kit wet market Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia is a country of many colours smells and tastes. Go to the Chow Kit wet market to get your senses flashed. Although the roof looks provisional and the floor is let’s say not clinically clean, the offered produce seem to be the freshest and of best quality. For example the fish was so fresh, that you could barely smell it, even though there was plenty of it!
